Oh, this sounds wonderful!!! I do have dried apricots, but no re lentils. However, I often substitute yellow split peas for them. I think instead of the cumin, which I like only in minute quatities, I will instead use curry powder…

I seldom use cumin also… What I love using is garlic powder and curry… :smiley:
