Delicious! My lentils were done in 15 minutes, but everything else went exactly like written. Nice blend of spices. Thanks for sharing!<br/>Made for Spring PAC 2014

Such a simply prepared curry and really full of flavour, we loved this, and so did my friend who is a huge dahl fan, I made extra for her :). Goes to show recipes don't have to be complex to be excellent! Thank you for this, made and enjoyed for PAC Spring 2012.

Very nice. Balanced flavors, and pretty with the spinach and tomato.

We make and eat quite a lot of dhal and this was a really good one. I made a half recipe and used a mix of spinach and chard (silverbeet) from my garden but didn't really measure them-just guessed what would be around enough. I added a squeeze of lemon to the finished dahl which was good in there. Thanks for posting!
