This was really good! I was skeptical about the raisins but they really added a great, touch of sweetness to the strong flavor of the curry. I followed some of the other reviewers and added about a 1/3 cup of coconut milk right at the end of the cook time and added a tbsp of garam masala when adding the seasonings. This recipe makes a up a full pan of food, so if you are only two persons you can easily cut the recipe in half and probably both still have seconds.

I'm a huge fan. Recipe definitely comes out better if you cook the lentils a head of time or you'll be going through gallons of vegetable broth to cook 'em up.

This is easy to make and very tasty. I didn't have any lentils so used 1 large potato cut in small chunks and green peas (parboiled then added in the last 30 minutes). Served with jasmine rice. Will surely make again. Thanks for vegetarian recipe.

I used turmeric and garam masala rather than curry powder and loved it!

I do not like this at all. Way too much tomato!!!!! I really wanted to like it, but I am afraid it will be deleted from my recipes after I post this. Sorry

This smelled awesome when it was cooking, and tasted pretty great, too. It has an interesting flavor, especially when you get a bite with raisins in it, but it is tasty and delightful. I basically followed the directions, but I did pre-cook the lentils, added an extra teaspoon of cumin, and used more than a "pinch" of cayenne pepper (3 or 4 shakes). I left the lid on when it simmered, so it might have come out a bit thinner than intended. I had it over brown rice. I'll be making this again.

It wasn't bad but felt it was missing other common ingredients. I added white beans and water to this and simmered for an hour.

Made this with a few alterations and found it to be very good. I omitted the lentils, doubled up on the chickpeas and used canneillini beans instead of red kidney. I also added two potatoes cut in 1/2 inch cubes which gave it a nice texture. Finally I omitted the raisins because I don't care for them in cooked food. My wife thought diced tomatoes would have worked better than the crushed, but I thought the crushed worked quite well.
