This was fabulous! Highly recommend. We added to skinless chicken for extra protein. - 11/9/12

I enjoyed this however I think I added too much ginger when I was experimenting with using powder versus fresh. I will definitely try this again, adjusting my level of powdered ginger next time. Thanks for sharing! - 1/27/10

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
