MULLIGATAWNY SOUP
This soup is a British-Indian cuisine hybrid, the result of colonizers' encounters with rasam - a spiced, soupy dish often enriched with lentils, sometimes served over rice - from Tamil Nadu, a region in southern India. "Milagu tannir," which means pepper water, was how Tamil people described some versions of rasam; it morphed into mulligatawny when the British made it thick, chunky and meaty. In the cookbook "Classic Indian Cooking," the author Julie Sahni wrote that she fell in love with mulligatawny when she first encountered it in Germany. "The present version bears no resemblance whatever to the traditional rasam," she said, adding, "Because of its unorthodox origin, Indian cooks have had a field day exercising their creative genius with it." This version is thickened with a roux, masoor dal and coconut milk, and bolstered with chicken thighs and tart apple. Curry powder is not a traditional Indian ingredient, but it reflects the dish's British influence.

Steps:
- Warm the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onion, season with salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent and shrunken, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger, and cook, stirring, until fragrant and softened, about 2 minutes. Add the mustard seeds, turmeric, curry powder, cayenne and cumin seeds, and cook, stirring constantly, until the mustard seeds pop and sizzle, about 90 seconds. Add the carrot, celery and apple, and cook, stirring, until just starting to soften, about 2 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste, then the flour, and cook, stirring well, to uniformly coat all the ingredients, about 2 minutes.
- Add the chicken, masoor dal and chicken broth. Season lightly with salt. Bring to a boil, stirring to scrape up any browned bits sticking to the bottom of the pot. Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer.
- Cover the pot and cook for 10 minutes, then uncover and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes more, until the chicken and carrots are tender, the soup is creamy, and the flavors have blended.
- Stir in the coconut milk and squeeze in the lime juice. Serve in bowls topped with a dusting of cayenne, if desired.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add leek, garlic, and tomato paste and cook, stirring often, until fragrant and tomato paste begins to darken, about 4 minutes. Add lentils and 2 1/2 cups water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, cover, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until lentils are tender, 45-55 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let sit, covered, 10 minutes; add soy sauce and season with salt and pepper. Serve lentils topped with scallions, if desired.
- DO AHEAD: Lentils can be made 5 days ahead. Cover and chill.
ADASI
A Persian dish of simply cooked lentils, adasi is often eaten as a warming breakfast in Iran, but it can make a comforting lunch or dinner, too. There are many variations, but the core ingredients are the same: lentils, salt and water. This recipe also calls for onion, cumin and turmeric, then simmering until the lentils become soft and creamy. (Don't be deterred by the long cooking time, as the majority of it is hands off. To help reduce the cooking time, soak the lentils before cooking for two hours or up to overnight.) Garnishes are customizable: Add a pinch of dried oregano or fresh cilantro or parsley, then top with a pat of butter and enjoy as-is, or with a side of hard-boiled eggs or roast vegetables. It's a wonderful dish to have in the fridge for a quick, nourishing meal any time of day.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium until shimmering. Add the onions, season with salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften and become light golden, about 6 minutes.
- Add the cumin and turmeric and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the lentils, then 5 cups water; season with salt. Increase the heat to bring it to a boil.
- Once it comes to a boil, give it stir, then reduce heat to low to maintain a simmer. Cover and let cook until the lentils are tender and creamy without a firm bite, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. (For ultimate creaminess, cook it on low for up to three hours, stirring every hour or so.)
- Remove the lid, stir and let any remaining water cook off, 5 to 10 minutes more, stirring occasionally to make sure nothing sticks to the bottom. Use a wooden spoon to mash some of the lentils against the side of the pan to thicken the soup, if desired. Season to taste with salt.
- Spoon into bowls, squeeze the juice of 1 lime wedge into each, drizzle with olive oil, then add a pinch of oregano or herbs, if using, and serve.
FRENCH LENTILS WITH GARLIC AND THYME
This is a classic French way to cook lentils, and it's very easy. Aromatics are sautéed and then simmered with French lentils, also known as Le Puy lentils, for 20 to 25 minutes. It is an easy side dish (shown here with cod baked with prosciutto), redolent of a Provencal feast.

Steps:

- Add 6 cups water, lentils, thyme, bay leaves and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a fast simmer.
- Simmer lentils until they are tender and have absorbed most of the water, 20 to 25 minutes. If necessary, drain any excess water after lentils have cooked. Serve immediately, or allow them to cool and reheat later.

LALLA MUSSA DAL
This creamy lentil stew - a signature dish of the Indian celebrity chef Sanjeev Kapoor - has a base of urad dal, a slim variety of lentil that turns soft and velvety when cooked. The dal is hearty, with multiple levels of richness from the cream and butter. But its tangy complexity comes from a combination of tomatoes, garlic, coriander and fenugreek. (Look for the dried version of the greens from the fenugreek plant, not the brownish nuggets known simply as "fenugreek" on the spice shelf. You can also use the mixture of fenugreek greens, dried dill and dried leek sold at many Indian grocers.) Like most dals, this stew is best accompanied by long-grain basmati rice or roti - both excellent vehicles for sopping up the thick gravy.

Steps:
- Mix together both types of lentils and rinse thoroughly in salted water. Drain, add 1 cup water and soak for 1 hour.
- Drain lentils again, add to a small pot with 1 cup water and bring to a boil. Skim the scum and dirt off the top and discard. Strain the lentils and return them to the pot. Add 1 cup water, the green chiles and ginger and simmer, covered, for 15 minutes.
- Add 1/4 cup of the butter and simmer on low heat for 45 minutes, stirring often and mashing with the back of a big spoon as the lentils soften. After about 35 minutes, melt the remaining 1/4 cup butter in a deep nonstick pan; add the tomato purée and sauté on low heat until fat rises to the surface.
- Add the red chili powder (or cayenne), ground coriander, fenugreek leaves and garlic and cook for a couple of minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to dry out and stick to the pan. Add the lentils and mix well. Add the cream and mix well. Add 1 cup water and salt to taste, and bring to a boil. Serve hot, garnished with ginger strips.

KHICHDI
Khichdi is reassuring, everyday fare, made from a mix of rice and lentils, cooked together in one pot until tender and seasoned with a splash of spice-infused fat. In India, it can be on the firmer side or more mushy, stripped down to the basics or more embellished, but it's always a comfort. To make the dish a meal, serve it with a drizzle of ghee on top and some chopped cilantro leaves, a spoonful of full-fat yogurt on the side and a little jarred Indian-style lime pickle.

Steps:
- Combine the rice and moong and rinse several times, until the water that drains away runs almost totally clear. Add to a heavy-bottomed pot with 1 3/4 cups water and set over medium-high heat.
- In another small saucepan, heat the ghee and mustard seeds. When the seeds start to pop, lower the heat and add the remaining ingredients, swirling them in the pan. Let the spices sizzle for under a minute, then carefully pour into the rice pot, along with the ghee. (Watch out: The fat may splatter).
- When the water comes up to a rolling boil, give it a good stir, scraping at the bottom of the pot, then cover tightly and turn the heat down to low. Cook for 15 minutes, then turn off the heat and let the rice rest for 10 minutes before opening the lid. Fluff gently with a spatula. Taste, season with salt to taste and serve.
