Honey Tips
Honey Is Magic
In the days before biology and botany were understood, people thought it was a special kind of magic that turned flower nectar into honey.
Directions
In a large saucepan, combine lentils, onion, curry powder, salt and turmeric with 3 cups of water. Bring to a simmer. Cover and continue to simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, about 45 minutes until lentils are soft and sauce thickens.
Stir in drained tomatoes, cauliflower and jalapeno. Cover and simmer 10 – 12 minutes, until cauliflower is tender. Remove from heat.
In a small skillet heat oil until hot but not smoking. Add cumin seeds and cook stirring about 10 seconds, being careful not burn seeds. Stir in garlic and ginger. Cook 1 minute. Remove from heat. Stir in cayenne. Add this to the cauliflower mixture. Stir in lemon juice, 2 tablespoons cilantro and honey.
To serve, spoon curry over rice and garnish with reserved cilantro.
