Sure it wasn't sagu (a mixture of root vegetables cooked with chilli and
coconut and ginger) rather than lentils?
Something like that is served in a yoghurt sauce and is called 'Sabudhana
vada'.
There's also something called 'dhai bata puri' which is puri (potato,
chick
peas and chutney) balls served in yoghurt sauce, but it's sweet and hot
and very much a Bombay speciality.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.
