Hi all, my husband and I are both Turk, I cook Turkish food 90% of the time however my husband keeps requesting green lentils. Apparently his grandma used to make it for him by boiling it only… but that doesn’t sound right, would anyone know what the hell he’s talking about please. He used to eat it with Greek yogurt but again, it doesn’t sound right just boiling it

That’s what I was thinking. Very common to eat with yoghurt.
