I love this recipe! The flavors are wonderful, and it's so easy to make. I use only one jalapeno pepper since my husband prefers it made that way. This is a must-try recipe if you want a deliciously healthful dish to serve.

I really enjoyed this restaurant worthy Dal. I added 2 carrots and 2 stalks celery finely chopped with the onions and a tiny bit more of cumin. It needs the 2 jalapenos. It wasn't spicy with the one large one I used. I couldn't taste the jalapeno at all so while eating I doused it with a generous shake of Tabasco. I pureed half with an emersion blender so the texture was more like the restaurant version you see. It was thick and yummy over rice and you can thin it with chicken stock for a nice soup.

My son just asked me for this recipe, a mainstay in my kitchen, for a friend who is a vegetarian. This is absolutely delicious, altho I use one jalapeno instead of two and reduce the salt to 2 tsp.

Really easy recipe. I used packaged garam masala and made this vegan substituting all animal products. It was delicious. I did however find that the overall cook time was more than this recipe called for.

The main differences between this recipe and the way this is made by my indian cooking instructor are the way she incorporates the other ingredients to the dal (peas/lentils/beans. She cooks her lentils/peas/beans in a seperate pot with just water and salt. The rest of the ingredients, once ready in seperate wok, are called the tarka. She pours the cooked dal into the wok with the tarka, then she adds the tomatoes. She does apply any further heat, nor does she stir to mix. She immediately ladles over basmati rice. I've cooked it both ways. I prefer her method. I've also prepared it without the chix stock and enjoyed it just as much.

I've tried a few Indian recipes now, and none of them were even close to as good as my favorite Indian restaurant. But this one came much closer than any others. Making the spice blend yourself really helps, I guess. Can't wait to use it in other recipes! The recipe looked like it'd be too spicy for me, but it's perfect, I'm glad I followed it.

My first attempt at Indian cooking, and it was delicious, especially paired with the North Indian Chicken Curry!!! I'll make this often.

This is a great recipe for dal - full of flavor and easy to make. My stomach, however, is not used to all the spices and was not that happy with me! Make sure you have some antacids handy if you are not used to Indian food.

This is an easy recipe, and the results are great. The jalape?os add the right amount of heat. Tastes great with basmati rice.

This dish was easy to make and very flavorful. In fact, it was better the next day as the flavor matured.
