This was so easy to make. I used Penzey's hot curry powder and their no-salt chicken broth base. This was the first time using garam masala, so I was not sure what taste to be watching for. I guess I'll have to use it in a recipe with fewer ingredients to be able to pick out the flavor. Made for *ZWT 6* I'm on Team *Ya Ya Cookerhood*

This is good. I used extra virgin olive oil, a bit more garlic, no bell pepper out of preference, brown lentils, my own homemade chicken stock, Recipe #104344 a sweet rather than hot curry powder, Recipe #279714, freshly ground black pepper, sea salt, and I cooked the green onion into the soup per preference as well. Plus all the rest of the ingredients. I served this with a fresh salad as a light meal. Made for ZWT6 Asian region, for my team, The Ya Ya Cookerhood.

I recently discovered that I have high blood pressure so I have been experimenting with recipes like this. this was very delicious although I made some changes. I added 2 cups of nonfat milk and only 6 cups of water. Also, I prefer keeping a jar of chicken bullion as opposed to a huge jug of chicken broth so I added 1tsp of bullion to the milk and water base. For some spice, since I shorted on the salt, I added paprika and plenty of ginger as well as doubling (or maybe even tripling, didn't measure) the amount of curry I added as well as adding a health squirt of Tapatio to the top of the finished product. I omitted the garam masala because frankly, I don't know what that is! Thanks for the idea.

I'm out of high school and living at home so I do a lot of cooking for my family. I love to cook, for me it is both relaxing and fun, especially when there are no time limits! I started baking when I was around 9. I began with making bread then I gradually went on to making meals.
Besides cooking and baking I love to knit, paint, sew, and study languages my favorite being Arabic which maybe someday I will actually be able to speak.
Most of the recipes I post are family favorites or at least my favorites.
My ratings go something like this:
5 stars: Very good, I will definitely make this again.
4 stars: Liked it quite a bit and will make it again but there was either something I had to change or I will only make now and then in the future.
If it is lower than these two there is something wrong with the recipe (b/c I'm not picky at all!) and I'll just leave you a comment.:)
I hope you enjoy the recipes I post and thank you for your reviews!
God bless,
