Oh my. YUMMY! I did make a couple of changes, but this is wonderful! I added 1 yellow pepper, chopped, and used Garam Masala instead of the invididual spices..about a tsp and a half. And I used a can of crushed tomatoes instead of fresh, since my garden is a bit slow this year. I used chicken stock instead of water. This one will be a regular for me.
UPDATE: I have made this so many times since I first reviewed...at least twice a month. It was the dish that convinced my carnivorous husband that going veg would be a possibility. For those who mentioned coconut powder, it is available at Asian markets, but if you cannot find, processing shredded coconut (unsweetened!) for a few seconds will give you a good substitute. It's best to me with french lentils as they have a really nice meaty texture, and I like over brown basmati rice, but my hubby likes the quinoa. It's even better left over when the flavors really meld. LOVE this one!!
