This was great! We followed the recipe to the letter except for also adding a spoonful of panang curry paste, which gave it a wonderful subtle flavor kick. We ate it with warm corn tortillas. Excellent!

Loved this recipe. I'ts greate with baked chicken. I used Swanson's vegetable broth for liquid and When I sauteed the onions (the sweet variety) I also added sliced carrots and chopped green bell peppers. It turned out great. My 1.5 year old daughter loves it. Very easy to make.

I enjoyed this dish growing up. Thanks for including it with brown rice, I have been making it without a recipe for about a year now and this one is delicious!! I prefer going a little heavier on the lentils and using 4 cups of water because I stir it lot (water evaporates).
