I think if you liked lentils this would be great. Hubby and I did enjoy this with a little soy sauce and that made it nice. I don't know if I will make again but for an easy vegetarian meal, I would recommend anyone try it.

I found this really good but a bit too spicy for me. Next time I'll try adding little less chili powder. Near the end of the meal I thought I'd try home-made plain yogurt on top it was very delicious!

On its own this would be good, however, I wanted more. I used this as a base. I added chopped green onion, mashed banana and some cumin and wrapped it in a tortilla and enjoyed it tremendously. I also have plenty of leftovers to do it again!! Thanks for posting this Sandra.

Although I didn't eat this dish myself, I made it for my vegetarian daughter who thought it was excellent, and enjoyed it over brown rice. It gets top marks from me for the quick cooking time, and ease of preparation with ingredients we always have on hand.
