I too used kale - I had spinach and kale on hand but wanted to use up the kale. There's a ton of it, so I may end up freezing some - hope it freezes well. Just made this and it was terrific.

Mine came out mushy, but the flavors were great. We didn't have swiss chard so used chopped kale, and it took 5-7 minutes with the lid on to get the kale where we like it - cooked but not slimy, with some crunch leftover from the stems. We ate it with naan. I made this over the weekend and loved it! Mine came out mushy, but the flavors were great.

All the ingredients, individually, are great, but when combined, turned out to be a bit too "busy". My philisophy, when it comes to lentils, is, "Less is More". I'm grateful, however, for having discovered Garam Masala, through this recipe. I'm going to pick out the sweet potatoes, and mash them, with a little extra GM. This may salvage the rest of the recipe, for my tastes. My favorite way to prepare lentils is just like-a mama used to make them: with a medium onion, browned in olive oil, chopped spearmint leaves from the garden, and salt to taste.

I made this last night for a few friends and we all loved it. I stirred a little bit of Greek yogurt into my bowl and it was even better. I'll definitely make this again! This was delicious!

It might be more mushy. But no less delicious. They probably would, but I do find that they cook more quickly and break apart more easily. It might be more mushy. But no less delicious.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned chutney and yogurt. Made the dish just as directed but then added some raisins, plain yogurt and Major Grey's chutney at the table. Delish!

I changed a few things though - Instead of olive oil I used Coconut Oil and I soaked the lentils in some water while I went to the store so that cut cooking time by a third and then halved the recipe (cooking just for myself - I can only eat so much!). Gotta say though, BEST dish I've made in a while! Thanks! :-) I just made this and it’s amazing! I changed a few things though –
