I don't use ginger often - ok - maybe - like - once every few months? So, I thought - what if I bought my own ginger, and grated it and froze it? I did that.

Garam Masala is an Indian spice blend, not Moroccan. A comparable Moroccan blend would be Ras el Hanout or La Kama. Perhaps the title should be "Indian Lentil Soup"?KBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12404986029101741664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090591139439935093.post-56794813509998171472009-10-03T17:00:27.147-07:002009-10-03T17:00:27.147-07:00I just wanted to say thank you so much for all of ...I just wanted to say thank you so much for all of your wonderful SIMPLE recipes.
