Instead of Whole brown lentils
Whole brown lentilThis is the same lentil under another name; use the same weight and soak and cook as directed.
Red lentilsUse the same weight; split red lentils cook faster and break down more, so reduce water and check after 15 minutes.
Pigeon peasUse the same weight; it holds its shape better and needs 10–15 minutes longer, with a milder, less earthy flavour.
