Flabors are outstanding! I omitted the lentils and extra liquid and simply sauteed the vegetables and spices (including onions and peas) and served the vegetable mixture over the spicy rice.

I changed a lot of the veggie ingredient in this recipe because I didn't have them all on hand. Overall the flavor of the rice was great. This is the first time I have used my garam marsala and it was a fragment, tasty spice blend!

This was quite good! I made it without the lentils becasue I served a lentil salad along side of it, but I am sure they will be tasty in it next time. I left out the peppers, and I think raisins will a good addition next time.

This was a great recipe -- I, too, substituted chicken broth for the veg broth. I loved the various spices and the crunchiness of the almonds.

I'm only giving this recipe 4 stars because I made a few small changes...as I made it, we would give it five stars. It tasted like something you'd get from an authentic Indian restaurant! I didn't add the green onions or peas to the rice; I thought they would overcook, so I added them to the lentil mixture just before I stirred in the rice. I also added a big handful of coarsely chopped cilantro at this point. I substituted chicken broth for the vegetable (it's all I had), and found that the lentil mixture took an extra half cup of broth. Otherwise I followed the recipe to a T. This is a delicious, healthy and versatile recipe; next time I'm going to add some cauliflower florettes.

Excellent. This is a very forgiving recipe - you can play around with the ratio of lentils to rice and the amount of vegetables and spices. Thanks Julia!
