1 C red lentils
2 C water
1-3 t Madras curry powder
1-2 T butter

Put the lentils and water in a pressure cooker and bring it up to pressure. Cook for 1 minute, then remove from the heat and allow the pressure to drop naturally. Open the cooker and stir in the curry powder, butter, and salt.
You can serve this as a dip, a spread, or a side dish. Or you can just eat it with a spoon.
