I added mushrooms and tofu for a little more texture, and it was delicious. I'm already looking forward to the leftovers! I had to laugh at your description of an "ugly" dish, as I've yet to find one ugly frame on your site. Thanks for all your fantastic work. This was a fantastic find for a cold and blustery night.

I've been making it once a week for the past few weeks, and it is one of my favorite dinners, and -- amazingly -- my husband's too! I've been sneaking in kale mixed with the chard, and no one in my family seems to mind. Mine looks much more "gooshy" than the pretty photos here. So -- thank you for a delicious & nutritious addition to our lives! I just had to come here and say thank you for this recipe.

I was so proud that I could finally make an Indian dish actually taste Indian! Thanks so much. I even brought the leftovers to my office so they could have a taste. Needless to say, everyone started checking out smittenkitchen. I must admit, I'm a walking advertisement for you.

I had already introduced him to onions, garlic, sweet potato, and swiss chard (our CSA box is directing much of the foods I'm introducing him to). All that was left were the lentils - an excellent first food! I've read not to worry about spices and he'd had many of them anyhow, and I figured jalapeno would be fine. Anyway, I separated his portion out before I added salt and no lime or cilantro for him, and I substituted chicken broth (as he's had chicken) for the vegetable broth. Cilantro prob would have been just fine, but I didn't do the final touches for him. Anyway, THANK YOU for an excellent first meal that we could share with our son! p.s. We're having a Smitten Kitchen themed potluck on Sunday - really looking forward to it!

It was my first time cooking with lentils and all the flavors really came together. The lime and cilantro at the end are SUCH a nice touch. The crunch of the tamari almonds are a must too! Great recipe. Just made this last night – very very awesome! It was my first time cooking with lentils and all the flavors really came together.

Followed everything to the letter, except for the problem with the sweet potatoes. I bought the same type of sweet potatoes I normally buy to get the orange-fleshed sweet potato. I go to start peeling it, and lo and behold, it's white skinned. Weird. Looked exactly like the orange-skinned potatoes, but were the much-less-tasty white skinned. I think it probably took away from the tastiness of the dish, but overall it was still good. I threw in two carrots diced to add some color, as it has a very pallid look to the dish - mostly grey. I'd like to try it again with orange-fleshed sweet potatoes. And I'd like to figure out why the potatoes looked like the orange kind, but turned out to be the white kind. Nice recipe.
