    I voted for Aarti on The Next Foodnetwork Star from the very beginning, and this is exactly why. This recipe knocked my socks off. I used fresh coconut, which I will admit is a pain in the tush to get the goods, but all for a very good reason. The stew came out spectacular and the entire family raved about it for weeks. Highly recommend, you rock Aarti!

    I couldn't find unsweetened coconut so I just used sweetened and it was still awesome. Love this recipe, definitely going into my book of go-tos. Great work, Aarti!!

    Amazing!!! Had unsweetened coconut milk on hand so I used it instead of shredded. This is a very tasty and healthy recipe. Thank you Aarti!

    Just made this quick and easy recipe -- OMG, SO Delish!! even the kids enjoyed. The lime & honey elevated the flavor to knock-out. I made a few minor changes to the tempering ... added a handful of curry leaves, about a tsp of cumin seeds, and half again on the mustard seeds too. Note --be sure to use UNSWEETened coconut (available @Asian market. Will def make again!!!

    Because I didn't have some of the ingredients on hand, but plenty of squash, I made a couple changes to the recipe, with, I think, equally delicious results. Instead of the pigeon peas, I used red lentils, which cook up fine in the amount of time in the recipe. I also didn't have cumin or turmeric (I just moved, so my pantry isn't quite stocked yet so instead I added yellow curry powder and cinnamon. I have a supermarket near me with a big natural/organic section which carries the unsweetened coconut, the texture of the coconut more than flavor is really the knockout in this soup. I love the unique flavor of this dish, and it freezes well too. Thank you Aarti!! :

    I am not sure what went wrong. I was so excite to try this dish and it was not what I expected. I could taste the cilantro but everything else was bland.

    Thank you Aarti and food network! Oh, my gosh it is so good! You have to try this. I used split yellow peas, and I think they take longer to cook(like an hour or so, so I added the squash after the peas were almost cooked. It is so good, I cook lentils with Indian spices all the time, but have never thought to add squash or coconut. It is so creamy and it is so good together. Definitely a new family favorite.
