Had to persuade my partner to have this for tea as it didn't look "enough" for him, added paneer to satisfy him, really tasty and even convinced him to have it again and to try more options than are meat free!

Minor point, the recipe instructions omit the garlic.. I added it with the ginger and chilli...

A little bit too much pfaffing but delicious. I swapped squash for sweet potato because that’s what I had. Delicious

Needs more heat in the spices.

Wow! What a fantastic evening meal. We had it without lime or coriander (just didn’t have any in!) cooked it with a tiny amount of curry powder as we shared some with our young granddaughter & son who also loved it. One of my favourites!

Garlic was listed in the ingredients but wasn't mentioned in the methodology. Also re: soaking the lentils it said "see note" but I couldn't find "the note".
