That sounds wonderful! One question, though: how much of each spice should I be using? It can even be expressed in "parts," i.e., 1 part turmeric to 2 parts mustard seeds, for example. I'm just trying to get a sense of the proportions to use for the spices. I love cooking with curry leaves - they're difficult to find in the US but I'm fortunate enough to live near an Indian grocery store so I can get them!

Thanks everyone!

Bostonmargy: the turmeric goes in with the boiling lentils so about 1 heaped tablespoons is good (not too much as tumeric should dominate the dish). The mustared and cumin seeds are fried off with the garlic, 1 normal tablespoon each. Hope that helps.
