Absolutely delicious! I substituted bell pepper stews for the celery just because that's what I happened to have. I am sure all kinds of variations are wonderful too!

This recipe did not turn out well for me at all. I tried to scale it up for 12, at which point it calls for 18 cloves of garlic. That seemed outrageous, but I trusted and tried anyway. Alas, it was as garlic-y and disgusting as it seemed while I was making it.

Amazing. Added red onion and two cans stewed tomatoes. Served it with tofu sausages and it was awesome. Hubby loves it, will make again for sure!!

Very tasty! I added mixed frozen veggies and that gave it a nice color and a more varied texture.

I'm not sure about this recipe. Too many lentils for the amount of liquid and I wish I'd used broth instead of water for more flavor. Thought it had an interesting taste at the end, but only after I added twice as much curry and some bouillon. I will make it again, but will do it quite differently next time.

This was incredible with a few alterations. I doubled the recipe, replaced the water with veggie broth, used a 14 oz can of stewed tomatoes, sliced 1 stalk of celery and 1 good sized carrot, half of an onion roughly chopped, two minced cloves of garlic, 1.5 tsp curry powder and 1/2 tsp of garam masala. So delicious.

This is a really good basic recipe for Lentil Stew. I've added Coconut milk and a little ginger at times. Bottled Thai red curry also works well.

This was delicious!! I read the reviews and modified as follows. Vegetable stock instead of water. More tomatoes. Halved the celery and replaced the other half with carrots. Used a little less garlic. Added much more curry. And it still was missing a little zing, so I added cayenne pepper, coriander, cumin, and cardamom. Then added coconut milk at the very end. I quadrupled the recipe and had enough to freeze. Looking forward to defrosting it...
