    It tastes just like a Pakistani restaurant a frequent. I substituted garam masala for most of the spices (because it contains most of them and just used crushed red pepper. The flavors are fantastic.

    This is delicious! It's very spicy, which I like, and the directions work perfectly. The salt worked for me, but it depends on what you like.

    Our entire family loved this, kids and all. Make sure to toast the spices as it is imperative for this recipe to taste right. We did back off the salt a bit, and because of the kiddies, only used 2 peppers. It still has a good kick, and with some samosas and poppadoms with lime pickles - this was a great way to chase off the first chill of fall!

    The spice combination was awesome and the flavor of the soup was great. I only gave the recipe 3 stars however because the amount of salt was WAY off. Luckily, I read the ratings and used half the amount of salt. One tablespoon would have been excessive.

    I was very excited about trying this recipe. I love Indian food, and I love dal. I went to the local indo-pak store and bought all the ingredients. I used half the amount of salt recommended for the lentils, and thought the level of salt was perfect. I followed the spice mix measurements exactly, and that's where this recipe went horribly wrong. I don't know if the amounts were incorrectly transcribed as I don't remember the episode well enough. The end result just tasted like biting down on a whole black peppercorn and chasing it with a mouthful of cumin. All of the other flavors were drowned out.

    This Dal was very delicious. I would like to add here that the name of the dal here in recipe is mung dal but what was shown on television was "Split Tuar Dal", and not "Mung Dal".

    It took me forever to convince my husband to have a vegetarian dinner and this did it! I thought the salt was just right, but I like things to be very flavorful, so to each its own : This was just amazing, I served it with basmati rice, garlic broccoli and garlic naan. A glass of wine doesn't hurt either!

    I bought my ingredients at an Indian Market. Rushed home to make the Dal. So glad to have discovered this recipe. Be careful with the chilli's though because they are hot. Next time I make this dish I will use a few less chillies.

    Being Indian I think this Dal is amazing. The spice mixture is perfect and can be used for other dishes. I, personally, think the 1 Tablespoon of salt is WAY too much. I would try 1/2 Tablespoon at first and then add later. Thank you for this recipe!
