This lentil curry without coconut milk is an easy vegetarian curry that can be tweaked to suit your personal tastes regarding spice and heat. I used green peppers, but you can experiment with other types of vegetables such as cauliflower, red pepper, or okra! Serve with basmati rice and sprinkle with fresh cilantro if you like.
