I wanted to make lentil curry but did not buy potatoes, cauliflower, eggplant, etc. and needed a recipe without all of that. This one fit the bill and was EXCELLENT! I used curry powder and celery seed instead of turmeric, chili powder, cumin, and fennel, but only because I did not have them. - 8/17/09
