For a very long time I didn't have a clue that there were that many ways to add lentils to my daily diet!
I, personally, enjoy lentil dishes if they are tasteful and with that, I mean a lentil dish needs to be spiced or a mixture of herbs needs to be added during the cooking process.
Do you feel the same way?
Years ago I had no clue that I would fall in love with Indian lentil recipes the way I did when I got to taste different dishes.
Lentils are so versatile, you can turn them into soups, curries, appetizers, and even sweets!
That of course is good news for us because it gets easy to just add lentils to our daily diet if we have more lentil preparation options and recipe ideas.
So while I could see that people were magically creating wonderful lentil dishes, I was still confused about the dish names and the different Indian lentil dishes.
So yes, my favorite Indian lentil recipes need to be flavorful, exciting, and pleasing to the eye. Over the years, I extended my knowledge and in the past days I got around to collecting the best Indian lentil recipes from my fellow food blogger friends.
You can discover all this and more in the delicious Indian lentil recipes below. They are in no particular order.

great roundup! thanks for sharing my recipe!
Stunning and so tasty! Can't wait to try them all!
Lentils is something that I rarely cook with but have been wanting try out for budgeting reasons. I've been told its really well priced for the amount you can get. This page will come in very handy for trying out ways to make it since I'm unfamiliar with cooking it.
I do not have a lot of experience cooking lentils. Actually.. I have never cooked them!! My two girls love soup, I am wondering if they would enjoy this recipe?
I've only ever made a European style Lentil soup from lentils! I didn't know what else to use them for, or that there were so many uses for them! I may have to give a few of these a try to mix up my meal plan.
WOW. These look so good I practically want to eat my computer screen. I LOVE lentils... these all look spectacular.
I'll admit I've only ever made a few lentil recipes in my life. These look and sound absolutely delicious, though! I'll have to check them out for sure! Such a great source of plant-based protein.
Looks delicious. Love love love lentils. is there anyway to modulate the heat on some of the dishes so that they are not too spicy?
Brad, most Indian lentil recipes in this collection are, I believe, not that spicy so you should be fine. I personally don't eat too spicy either, so I understand your concern. Generally speaking you can always reduce the heat in any dish by omitting or reducing the amount of chili added.
i'm embarrassed to say i've really only had lentil soup but all these other recipes look great too!
Oh don't worry I felt the same way at some point in the past. Nothing to be embarrassed about. A new year comes with new taste trials. 🙂
Oh, you've certainly given me a craving for lentils now! All of these look divine!
Wow, everything looks so delicious and being a huge lentil fan, I'm going to try these recipes soon.
