Yogi Mix - Cooking instructions
Our cooking process is designed for convenience—simple steps across all products, with only slight variations. Here’s how to prepare the Yogi Mix:
1. Start with the Base:
Heat your favorite oil, butter, or ghee in a deep pot.
2. Build the Flavor:
Add the contents of The Lentil Hub jar to the pot. Stir in ⅓ cup of Greek yogurt (or one chopped tomato for a vegan version) and sauté on medium heat for 2–3 minutes.
Optional: If adding vegetables, sauté them first in oil until soft before adding the lentil mix.
3. Add Water & Cook:
Use the empty jar to measure water (see chart below). Start with the lower end of the suggested water amount and add more if needed. Cover and cook (medium-high heat works well) until the lentils are soft & well-blended. Give it a taste and add more salt if desired.
Tip:
Add more water and simmer longer to adjust to your preferred consistency. Optionally, garnish with chopped cilantro, or a touch of butter if desired.

Note: For your first time, we recommend cooking the whole jar—it makes 4/5 servings and keeps in the fridge for up to a week or can be frozen. You can also cook in 2 portions—just shake the jar well to evenly distribute spices and reduce water accordingly. A 5-6 Quart pot works well for the cooking the whole jar.
