AuthorNote: Mark feasted daily on local versions of this rural Nepal
staple during his trek in the Himalayas. It typically consists of lentils
and whatever vegetables happen to be available. It is served with rice and
makes a filling and grounding meal. To prepare this dish in 30 minutes,
start on the lentils before you begin chopping any vegetables.
