A very nice and easy to prepare dish! Flavorful and filling with the combo of lentils and beans. I halved the recipe which easily made four portions for us. Thanks for sharing! ZWT8

This dish was delicious and the presentation was fantastic! I had a friend over for dinner tonight and he raved about this dish. I served it along with some Indian potatoes and chicken and of course, some Naan bread. Will definitely make this dish again. Made for the Everyday is a Holiday tag, October, 2011.

I had forgotten how "meaty" brown lentils tasted! The flavors work very well together, and, like others have said, it is made with ingredients that I often have on hand. Made for ZWT 7, Wish You Were Here, Antarctica Challenge.

This was a super lunch! Easy and quick to toss together the night before. I did leave out the tomatoes due to personal tastes. I added a bit of salt and this was perfect! :) I actually ate it cold at work with some pita and it was great that way! Thanks for posting Kate! [Made for Holiday Tag February 2010]

This was delicious! I was quite surprised at how much I enjoyed this recipe and how easy it was to put together. My DH and 7yo DS loved it. If you're looking for a traditional curry recipe, this is not it but it is delicious all the same. This will be made again and again in my house. Made and reviewed for ZWT4.
