    This was a tasty and simple recipe. I added some shredded carrots and used a bit more curry. I will definitely be making this again! - 2/1/11

    Not bad, would have worked better if I'd cooked it in my rice cooker. At first it was too crunchy so I added water & cooked longer, but then it turned into mush. Not sure if I'll try it again, but maybe with adding carrots and a bit more spice. - 8/29/12

    Made this for lunch today and my husband gave two thumbs up. Although my chronic heartburn and reflux have improved dramatically since tracking food intake, exercise, and weight loss, I was wary of using too much curry so started out at half the listed amount and used a salt substitute. Yummy! - 8/23/12

    Made this last night -was surprised the lentils just disappeared! It was good, but missing something - I added some red pepper, but that wasn't it ... I also reduced the olive oil by 1/3, maybe that was it. I plan to tweek it next time! Thanks for a way to try a new food! - 2/1/10
