Doubled this to take to an Indian food potluck. It made so much that it seemed as if I could feed all of India! This was quite tasty - everyone loved it. I have been following a low-fat, plant based diet so did not use the oil, rather used a little of water to simmer the vegetables and chile. I was pleasantly surprised by the resulting creaminess of the pureed lentils that was achieved with no oil or dairy. I exchanged butternut squash for the sweet potatoes and that worked well. Lovely - we'll have this again. Thank ratherbeswimmin'.
