    Mmmm.. This was very unique and delicious. Both hubby and I loved it. Modifications: more splits, no chilis, less coriander (1 t) and cinnamon (1/4 t) (was worried it would be too much). 1/2 t curry powder instead of turmeric (hubby doesn't like turmeric). It was wonderful! - 6/4/07

    I loved this recipe, it is filling, nutritious, and spicy - really great value for the calories. I used a bag of fresh spinach instead of frozen and it worked well. - 6/15/07
