Though we are omnivores, we frequently eat meatless, both for health and because plant proteins are often cheaper per serving. It's nice to see recipes with legumes since there just aren't very many around. And lentils are quick-cooking too! I have almost all the ingredients, but where do you find rose water??

I think this would be a great breakfast dish for a farm family. I'll have to get back with you on what my family thinks!


I found rose water in my local Bulk Barn, some Middle Eastern areas of groceries will carry it too.

I agree with pressurecooker. This would make a great breakfast item! Can't wait to try. Will look for rose water....but I seem to remember there's a recipe for making it in one of my herb books. I'll look and post if I find it.
