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.

This was not only Healthy and Low Fat but delicious as well. I used 2 can s of diced tomatoes instead of fresh, just to save time. Thanks so much for the recipe, its a keeper!!

Fairly good. Spicy, but not a ton of flavor. I served it over cous cous which worked well and was easy. I have another recipe for Dahl that I like better than this one.

Fantastic taste! The finished dish has lovely color. I had to substitute for what was on hand. I used old style mustard (with whole seeds), a pinch of garam masala (no jalapenos), and canned tomatos. I also omitted the fresh cilantro, and it still came out great. Yummy with whole wheat pitas.

Does anyone else have a spouse and children who don't like spicy foods? Guess what! They went on a day trip with the mom-in-law, and the kitchen is my castle! There are over a thousand soups to pick from and I chose this one! To the creator of this meal, my palate says, "Thank You!"

a wonderful soup! I added an extra pepper because we love it spicy. I also used a large can of diced tomatoes instead of the fresh. I served the soup with naan bread and a salad which made a wonderful meal.

This recipe was wonderful. A great combination of sweet and spicey. I didn't have enough fresh tomatoes, so I used canned diced, and I left out the cilantro; my husband doesn't like it. It was a big hit. I'll make it again and again.

This is a flavourful and delicious soup. The combination of lentils and tomatoes makes it hearty without being heavy. Nothing confusing about it.

This dish has a wonderful aroma and flavor. I usually do not cook with fresh tomatoes (I don't like their texture or flavor), but enjoyed this combination. I would add sliced carrots and green peppers for more color contrast, reducing the number of tomatoes to 3.
