Red lentils…? Yes, that is right, or egyptian lentils, as they call them because they come from far east and you will find them easier in eastern markets or organic stores. They are better than the usual brown lentils for two reasons: they are far more nutritious and they are ready in only 10 mins!

Extra Tips
- Αν θέλετε λάδι, προσθέστε το στο πιάτο όταν σερβίρετε το φαγητό, ώστε να είναι ωμό και άρα πιο ωφέλιμο, έτσι θα γίνει και το φαγητό πολύ ελαφρύ.
- Αν χρησιμοποιήσετε τις κλασικές φακές, θα χρειαστεί περισσότερο βράσιμο.
