Lentil Salad With Curry Spices And Yogurt

---

This is a delicious, simple, and inexpensive recipe. You can make it even easier by using the vegetables raw, rather than blanching them. I'd bet that regular lentils would work well in this, too.

Rinse the lentils and place them in a medium saucepan.

---

Cover with water and add the bay leaf.
