(Logo curtsey: Susan)
Lentils and beans are a part and parcel of Indian cooking; if you are vegetarian, legumes are the major source of protein contributing ingredients in your diet. If you are savory person, lentils make curries, stew, soup, salad. On the other hand if you are sweet person, they can be transformed into sweet treats like puddings etc. I always admired My Legume Love Affair (MLLA) event founded by Susan, and now conducted by Lisa. When I got opportunity and contribute to his event I grabbed and thus MLLA is coming here in Zesty South Indian Kitchen.
