Just delicious. Easy, healthy, and tasty, can't beat that. My 20 month old son gobbles it up with the rest of the family. I have really enjoyed expanding my Indian cooking with Aarti!!

Followed the recipe exactly. Turned out awesome. Served it with naan bread and was so full after! Looking forward to leftovers and making it again.

Pretty fail proof. I used tinned tomatoes, Sriracha, and didn't have any mustard seed, but with a goodly amount of salt and pepper it still turned out great!

I doubled up on the spices & it came out great; served it with basmati rice.

Excellent recipe...I didn't change a thing (other than I used the dry cilantro I had on hand instead of fresh...still good! and it reminded me a lot of a little mom and pop Indian restaurant we have in town. This has definitely become part of my printed collection!

It was fine, but I thought it was a little bland. I ended up almost doubling up on the spices. I also added lots of salt and crushed red pepper. I think I would also use more onion next time.

It tasted pretty good. I have made many of Aarti's recipes before. I left out the Serrano chile but it needs it. I think I added a bit too much cumin because it was a bit overwhelming. I cooked the lentils a bit longer to make them thicker and softer. I used quite a bit of salt because it needed it. I served it over basmati rice.

Excellent! Only substitution I made was to use cherry tomatoes I had on hand. It was an easy and delicious dish. I also learned from this recipe the trick of whisking the lentils at the end. Gives it a great texture.
I have made this recipe twice now and everyone in our family loves it. A keeper. Thank you!

Just made lentils for the first time using this recipe. Absolutely delicious! I improvised a little by chopping the tomato, adding more garlic, and adding curry powder, and a mid east-west blend from a local winery. Great interchangable recipe!

This turned out really well. I make dal all the time usually using a packaged masala dal spice blend but my grocery store hasn't been carrying it lately. I also have a recipe from Whole Foods that I use but it just wasn't as good as I knew dal could be so I went looking for another version and found Aarti's. I'm really glad I came across this version; it was delicious.

This was my first Aarti recipe and I look forward to trying others.
