Hi Carol. I have never seen or heard of matpe beans until now, so have never cooked with them and I don't know what they taste like. That makes it a bit hard for me to answer. Lentils are the best option for this recipe. If the matpe beans taste beany then it probably won't be as nice with them. The only thing you might need to change if you use them is the amount of liquid added. Whether it would be more or less I can't say. It depends how much they absorb. And if you up the liquid you might need to up the spices/seasoning too. Sorry I can't be more helpful!

I'm so pleased you enjoyed it Sarah!

So glad you all enjoyed it Andrea. Green peas are a great addition!

Great to know it works well in an Instant Pot. I'll try that next time I make it! Glad you enjoyed it Robin :)

I actually removed the raita part of the recipe but must have missed a bit when I was deleting it which is why you were seeing the directions but no ingredients. I started to realize that readers were put off by recipes with really long ingredients lists so I thought I'd shorten this up a bit by just leaving the keema lentils. I'm really sorry about that! If you wanted to try it, it was just basically a cashew cream (cashews blended with some plant-based milk) with a touch of vinegar for some sourness, salt to taste and lots of chopped fresh mint, cilantro and cucumber stirred through.
