  I pressure cooker cooked my lentils with less water and tumeric -to cook faster. I also added garlic, cilantro, cumin to the dish and used olive oil instead of butter. Tasty and healthy too!!! I also substituted jalapenos with fresh green chillies - minced. - 6/23/08

  This was really good. I substituted one of the teaspoons of turmeric for a teaspoon of garam masala, added a steamed head of cauliflower, and added 2 hot banana peppers in addition to the one Jalapeno. All of this served over brown rice. - 6/23/09

  Simple and quick. My red lentils are tiny, a bit bigger than a jalapeno seed and they cook quickly so cooked only 40 min. I added much less liquid to make it thick, and added garlic and ginger because it seemed like a good idea, I enjoyed the dish. - 7/10/13

  I used two good sized jalepenos and got plenty of spice with my dish. It was wonderful with some warm whole wheat pitas and I can't wait for leftovers...I don't often say that! - 6/26/08

  is this the indian dal? If so, for flatbread, find a recipe for 'chapati", which is the traditional indian bread used when eating dal. - 6/23/08

  I added spices to my taste a little garlic and such was actually quite nice used a little ham soup base for added flavor and left out the the oil steamed a little onion for on top I think it was just as good and saved the fat - 6/23/08

  O.K.
  
  Add more spice and a little less water or use one cup of white wine in place of a cup of water. Comes out great with olive oil and a little butter flavoring as well. - 6/23/08

  Sounds good, but I am going to use chicken stock instead of water, and add some turkey smoked sausage to make it heartier for my teenage sons! Thanks for sharing this recipe! - 6/23/08

  sounds tasty! can butter be replaced by olive oil to make it healthier? - 6/23/08
  
  

  Reply from JALEPENOANN (6/23/08)
  2 tbsp. o f butter for 8 (or more) servings is hardly unhealthy. I used the butter for flavour. Using a bit of butter is probably much healthier than all the chemicals that are in those butter flavour sprays.

  Healthy and filling, but not incredibly flavorful. The jalepenos are a nice touch, though. - 4/12/07
