"By Indian cooking standards, this recipe delivers an authentic taste. Both myself and my Indian wife were quite pleased with the results, although by personal preference I'd recommend a couple of changes: cut down the vinegar, add a little brown sugar and add some salt. This one's a winner in our household!"

-toohot4u
“Super recipe! I cook lots of beans and I'm always looking for something new and a little different. I've never cooked beans with cilantro before and I'm not sure why. Its a marriage made in heaven. These smelled amazing while cooking.”
-Lucky in Bayview
“I usually find that my cooking tastes amateur but this is a good recipe. I would serve this to company any day with total confidence.”

“Good proportions. I use just water, no butter or even salt. I usually make it plain so can add whatever I want after it is done.”
-Maisy O.
"I grabbed this recipe because I was interested in something with whole grains, and it was pretty good. I would recommend sautéing the onions and garlic first, since I don't like the flavor of the onion when you just dump it raw into the crockpot.”
-Podkayne
This is a low-effort recipe for a traditional Vietnamese soup broth. You can serve it with rice noodles, as per tradition, but it’s excellent without them if you are on a low-carb diet.
