Perfect! I make this at least once a week, using the garlic/ginger paste Aarti often mentions (brilliant idea- I'm never without it!and adding black pepper, curry and garam masala just because I love them. I've made it exactly as written, used diced tomatoes instead of whole, and added other diced vegetables when I have them onhand and it's always delicious. This is quickly becoming one of my go-to comfort foods. Thank you Aarti- SO happy to see your recipes on Food Network!

I've really been into red lentils lately and I liked this recipe a lot. It was easy to make. I was also looking for a good red lentil soup recipe and I found a really nice one on a blog called ellebeaugrease blogspot com. It was Lebanese style, slightly spicy and delicious. I've been making it about once a week now.

This has become one of my stand-bys!!! With a serving of Aarti's Saag Paneer, it's a perfect meal. I make it at least every other week. Love the show and the inspiration for infusing Indian flavors into everyday cooking. Thank you, Aarti!!!

WOW. Not only is this delicious, but super easy to make and improvise with. I used green lentils instead of red, and added onion to my recipe. My spice mix consisted of ground cumin, paprika, chili powder, and curry powder (blend of tumeric, cumin, corriander, and a host of other spices. Even my husband, who's never enthusiastic when I make lentils loved it! Taste even BETTER the next day for lunch!

I made two separate batches. One with green lentils and jalapeno pepper and one with the red lentils and a serrano chili. Both were very outstanding and not too much heat. I heated up some flat bread and it was a very tasty meal!!!

The recipe was good. I was very generous when adding the spices, yet, it lacked salt. I used dried mustard, and didn't have any chiles so I added the juice of a lemon. It added the extra flavor the soup needed. I would make it again withe the serrano.

OMG! These are soooo good. Bursting with flavors. I just used what I had on hand (dried garlic, dried ginger, ground cumin, ground mustard, paprika, ground red pepper, black pepper, grapeseed oil, canned diced tomato, half yellow onion. Followed the recipe as printed except with the ingredients I had. I was a little heavy handed on the garlic, ginger, and red pepper because I wanted to make sure the flavors were there. Came out great. Flavors are probably a bit different than the original recipe. But delish none the less. I plan to get the black mustard seeds, whole cumin seeds, and serrano pepper and try it again following the recipe exactly.

This is the second time I ever cooked lentils and this time they actually turned out the way they should. However since I am allergic to mustard, I did not add the mustard seeds and since my family hates spicy foods [mainly my mom] I used a jalepeno instead of a serrano pepper. My family thought the dish tasted blan.

I made this recipe for my first dinner party, and it was a hit from ages 2 to 36!!! So glad I tripled the recipe, because seconds and thirds were eaten by everyone :!

This is so good! I couldn't find serrano so didn't add it, but it is delicious anyway. Thank you, Aarti for sharing your Mum's recipe.
