I've changed it around slightly to suit me and when taking it to work, I'd get people hovering around my office as the aromas would seep out and down the hallways.... it's filling and yummy

This was terrific! I found also a Chipate recipe on this site. So last night we had Dahl and Chipates! Excellent! Thanks so much...

I really love this receipe as an appetizer. Serve with some garlic Naan bread as a dip. 2 Jalapenos is enough but don't skimp on the garlic. Great vegetarian dish over rice. Thanks

I liked it. I only used 2 jalapenos instead of 3 as called for! In my laziness, I did not cook the lentils separately. I sautéed the veggies and at the point where you are supposed to cook down the tomatoes, I just added my lentils and chicken broth (instead of the water), brought it to a boil, then let it all simmer together for about 40 minutes. And I only used one medium sized onion instead of 3 and 3 large cloves of garlic instead of 6...whoooa!

Perfection! What an amazing recipe. With few modifications (my tomatoes were very juicy, so I added only 1/3 cup of water, also I salted this dish -- it needs it!), I would have to say this is some of the most delicious food I've ever enjoyed. The flavors of jalapegno, garlic, tomatoes and the spices blended so perfectly. My husband used several expletives and the word 'abrosia' to describe his pleasure. This is on our 'must share with friends' short list. Thank you so much for sharing!!!! P.S. Individuals with sensitive palates should note that I added two huge jalepegnos, and used the seeds from only one of them. This produced a very high level of heat for us, and we are accustomed to eating hot food.

Added a can of yellow curry paste and it was fabulous!

I would give this 10 stars if I could. It was the hit of my Indian Feast. This was a great recipe. Very easy to cook and a great compliment to the spicy foods associated with Indian cooking. I served it with Spicy Chicken Curry, Vegetable Biryani, Cilantro Chutney, and Naan. It made a great meal for guests who enjoy Indian food.

Turned out really well.

I skipped the onions as I am allergic, but followed the rest precisely. Yum! The cilantro really makes it.

WAY TOO MUCH ONION. I recommend using only 1 med to large onion. I also used only 2 jalapenos and it was fine. I wish this recipe had the ingredients ordered in the order of use - otherwise, I had to take the time to mark out what I needed to do. I would also add how finely chopped the ingredients needed to be. In my opinion, it would have been better if I had made the onions FINELY diced so as not to compete with the lentils. With reducing the onion content dramatically, this is otherwise a very tasty (and vegan) dish.

good, easy, and a great side dish to go with an Indian dinner. Served w/a chicken curry and basmati rice. I did find the cumin to be a bit overpowering of the other flavors so next time will add a little less. I did add a bit of spinach, and the cilantro is a must! It tasted so much better after I added it. Served w/a dollop of yogurt. (I also added some Tunisian chili spice to make it spicier so the yogurt was nice to offset the heat)

Tastes really similar to the dahl served at Cosmic Cafe in Dallas, Texas. Good stuff.

This is a new house favorite. I subtracted one jalapeno pepper and added some tumeric. After boiling a cup of lentils in 4 cups of water there was enough liquidity that I also subtracted the cup of water that is called for. It is fairly labor intensive due to the chopping and stirring but worth it!

It tastes alright, but chopping up 3 onions took forever with my eyes watering like mad!

This was so good. I made a simple flat bread with it and even my husband (who scorns soups or anything spicy) thought it was very good. I only used one jalepeno to turn down the heat for my family but it was easy to spice up one bowl with chili paste!

I loved this recipe, especially when it was fresh! Very very oniony though.
