I was excited to try this because it would be considered Core for Weight Watchers (if you use ff chicken broth and plain nf yogurt). It was good, but not my favorite thing ever. The curry flavor in this is very strong and the spices just didn't taste rounded, I felt like it was missing something.Reply

I'd never had lentils before, but these were really good! I've made them several times. I omitted the coriander (I'm not much on cilantro flavor). Also, I never seem to have any plain yogurt, so I use 1/2 c. sour cream (bad I know) and it turns out great. I also sometimes top it with grated cheese. It almost tastes like a fajita filling.Reply
