    I had originally planned to make a greek salad, but the weather did a 180 and I was scrambling to find a recipe that fit my ingredients on a cold and rainy night. This recipe fit the bill!

    I followed the directions, however, I added a green, red, and yellow pepper. I used fenugreek instead of salt, grated my ginger in, and cubed extra firm tofu rather that adding kidney beans. I omitted the lemon pepper. The flavor was good and the heat very subtle. I felt very warmed inside while eating and for a short while after dinner.

    I think next time I might try this with paneer and add a few spicy peppers into the mix when I add the onion and peppers. Overall very easy, good and filling!

    My husband asked me to cook with less meat so I tried this recipe, and it was delicous! I made it a day in advance, so the flavors had time to marry. I will definitely make this again.

    I eat this four times a week. I double the amount of fresh tomatoes and beans. I use one tsp of red pepper flakes. I eat it with jasmine rice and quickly cook up frozen peas and mix it in. So healthy and delicious

    This was delicious. My husband said that it had a very nice flavor, and we ate it with brown rice. I followed the recipe, except for also adding a can of black beans in addition to the kidney beans because our kidney beans did not total 19oz. I will make this again.

    Absolutely fabulous recipe! I was really surprised by how great this was. It's so light and fresh. You really MUST use fresh tomatoes, rather than canned. The fresh tomatoes add so much to the flavor.
    This is one of my new favorite recipes and I will absolutely be making it again.

    This recipe was delicious and easy. I added some cherry tomatoes towards the end for some texture and definitely plan on making this again.

    Made this dish for an Indian friend of mines , they loved it and wanted to know how I made it. When he went to go get his share of the dish. The pot was finished. Left some for my family, they asked why I don't cook like this all the time. Will definitely make again.

    No complaints (although authentic Indian would never used canned rajma, to my understanding -- pressure cooking raw beans a must!, quite satisfying, with enough kick for me!
