*Reviewed for AUssie Forum Recipe Tag* Served over steamed basmati rice with mini papadums on the side. Great dinner for a meatless meal....even my husband enjoyed it too. Seemed like I was adding a lot of liquid...but actually was all absorbed well by the veges and lentils. We enjoyed this recipe. Photo also to be posted

A really delicious vegetarian meal that was ready in no time. It was served with steamed rice and mini papadums. I did increase the amount of curry powder to 3 teaspoons and doubled the amount of garlic. I look forward to the leftovers later in the week.

Oh how funny! I made this last nite and when I opened the site to post my review...it was the ?dish of the day". Now, onto my review....this was a nice easy meal to make and that plus great flavor makes it a five star recipe in my book. I already had cooked chickpeas in my freezer to use, but no pumpkin. I subbed butternut squash its place, oh I also didn't use the cilantro..not a fan. Served with cumin flavored bastmati rice and naan. Great job JustJanS!
