  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons curry powder

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Lentils are often used as a meat substitute. They’re a good source of iron and phosphorus and also contain calcium and vitamins A and B.
  • tip 2
    This Indian-influenced casserole is excellent with a salad of sliced cucumbers in a mint vinaigrette or yogurt dressing.
