I think it’s safe to say I’m a sucker for most anything curry related. It’s so comforting and perfect for the cool weather we’ve been getting here in North Carolina. BBRR! But let’s be honest, I could eat curried anything year-round! I love experimenting with different combinations and this Lentil […]
