Wow, delicious! I had to use the ingredients I had on hand, but it still came out really really well. I used 2 cans of tomato sauce instead of tomato paste, green lentils, and no tumeric since I didn't have any. I think that this recipe is such an amazing base that it can handle LOTS of tweaking!

Wonderful recipe. I left out some of the curry powder and added in some garam masala. I used more curry paste, too, and diced tomatoes rather than tomato paste. A small bit of sweet butter at the end was the perfect finishing touch. I was really proud of this when I served it for dinner, it tasted very authentic.

Very good. I used a mild curry paste, I think next time, I'll use hot. The only trouble I had was cooking the lentils to the right consistency. I ended up throwing out the first batch as they had cooked too long and were complete mush. I got it right the second time. However, the dish was still a bit too thick. Next time, I'll add some vegetable stock to the onion/spice mixture before adding the lentils right at the end.

My husband and I really enjoyed this recipe! The only change I made was that I substituted the ginger with galangal. The only change I will make next time is to half the recipe, since its just the two of us, and this makes a lot of curry! We had this with raita, chapati bread and curried cauliflower; it was a great meal!

This is great! I just finished making it about 5 minutes ago and it is flavorful and spicy. I will definitely make this again and use the curry recipe for vegetables as well.

Easy and delicious! My only change was to use half of a large can of stewed tomatoes instead of puree (I used the other half for matar paneer) and served this as a side dish, so I have plenty left over to freeze!

I made modifications as recommended by a friend. I substituted the tomato for coconut milk and added about half a cup of peanut butter. Then served it all over brown rice. Yummy!

This was good. I used red curry paste and yellow powdered curry. Next time I will omit the sugar as it was a tad sweet from the tomato.

Very, very tasty dish. Followed recipe exactly except for green lentils instead of red (had them).

could you throw it all in a crock pot?

This is an easy and delicious recipe. The recipe is enough to feed 6-8 people. I usually take half and freeze for later.

I found this to be very bitter- so I added a pinch of baking soda, to wipe that out, and then some coconut cream for a bit of richness. I liked it much better after that. Thanks for the great recipe! I will enjoy making this again!

I followed the recipe exactly and used mild curry paste, and still it was a bit spicy because of the chili powder, but perfect flavor. Not too spicy for kids. My kids actually looved it! I halved the recipe, and still it was a lot, so I'm glad I did! Served with basmati rice and simple salad. Great flavors, but I felt like it lacked a bit of texture. Next time, I will add some chicken pieces into it, cuz while eating it, I kept feeling that chicken would have been perfect in it! Great base though, thanks a lot for sharing!

Very good for lentils!

Very tasty. This recipe will vary in taste and heat according to your curry paste. Notes about lentils: I have never cooked lentils before so I thought I would share some tips for others like me. First off, they are very small so don't try to use a strainer with larger holes (Yes, I know this is obvious). Rinse them well until the water runs clear. Wet lentils stick to everything! Try to get them in the right pot the first time. I found a spatula was good for transferring them. Red lentils cook fast! I boiled mine for 2 mins then simmered for about 8 mins. At that point they were mostly tender. I transferred them into the sauce, mixed well and let them finish cooking. They didn't get too mushy like many people have mentioned.

I thought that this was a delicious recipe. 2 cups of red lentils was a bit much, but very very easy and very very good.

This was okay. I don't think I'll make it again. Choosing the right curry paste would probably really help this recipe.
