Used it as base because we can't have spicy and with only cumin it was too delicate for us. Used brown lentils (no reds). Added spices to compensate for lack of red pepper, 1/2 tsp coriander and cardamom each, increased the cumin 1 1/4 tsp and tossed diced zucchini and tofu in it.Thanks for sharing. - 1/23/12
