Indian Coral Lentils REMIX!

I found some coral colored lentils here which I now consider my favorite lentil to use in my dad's Indian lentil recipe!

The coral color doesn't stay, and they become beige-yellow when cooked, but they do have lots of flavor! Since I can't find yellow split peas here, this is a perfect substitute. They cook quicker than brown lentils and they kind of explode, but that's what they're supposed to do. I added more chili powder and turmeric into the recipe, and this is how it comes out... just delicious every time.
I'm working on finding okra to make another one of my dad's great indian vegetarian recipes. Why isn't okra that common here?
