I’ve found myself with way more red lentils than expected and, as much as I like it, a man can only have Dal so many times. Any other suggestions for what I can do with Lentils?

Just throw them in any soup or stew you’re making.
That’s a souper idea!
With a gravy packet (usually contain dairy) to provide meatyness I’ve had some luck making taco filling. You can add them to any variety of hearty soups as well, since they’re so similar to beans, although I haven’t really found one I love.
There’s also a slightly different lentil dish I make sometimes, albeit still Indian-inspired. I basically just add cooked carrots and lentils to a sauteed onion with tomato sauce and curry powder, and then serve with rice. It’s quick and doesn’t need anything non-perishable if you use cans.
I tend to buy more than I should, so I do patties or savoury pancakes.
I don’t have a specific recipe. I just search for one every time like a savage haha
If you’ve got some root veggies handy, and ideally some bones left over from a roast to make stock, then you can do worse than making yourself some lentil soup. Ate so much of this growing up, it’s amazing.
I’m not gonna remove your comment because I want to support conversation and! in no way be a power tripping mod, but cooking with bones or roast is not support by this plantbased community.
Mean this is a non-rude tone!
Please anyone feel free to share their thoughts on if this is the right route to take. I do not want to follow the rude militant vegan communities and I do support people eating partially plantbased, I just thought I would comment on a non-plantbased recipe comment.
I’ll mention gravy packets again, they really are a hack for anything like this, with traces of dairy being somewhat preferable to actual bones.
