Time 45m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups lentils
1 cup onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
4 cups water
1 cup red bell pepper, finely chopped (can use green)
1 cup celery, finely chopped
1 cup red onion, finely chopped
1 cup plain nonfat yogurt or 1 cup low-fat plain yogurt
3 tablespoons prepared mango chutney (I LOVE Trader Joes!)
1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder
2 teaspoons red onions, finely minced
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Steps:

In a saucepan, combine lentils, white onions, garlic, and water. Cover, bring to boil, then reduce heat and simmer 30-40 minutes until lentils are tender but not mushy.
Meanwhile, combine bell peppers, celery, and red onions in nonreactive bowl. When lentils are cooked, drain and add them while hot to the bowl. Stir and set aside at room temperature for 15 minutes.
In a separate bowl, combine all of the yogurt dressing ingredients. Stir the dressing into the lentils and serve.
