Green lentils, unlike their yellow and brown counterparts, hold on to their shape while cooking. In Madhur Jaffrey's green lentil curry, she infuses them with garlic, ginger, coriander, and cumin, for a dish that's perfect over rice or with a piece of warm naan bread.
Made this because of all the five star ratings...
Then looked at the reviews, mostly zeros. Where did the rating even come from.
Not a good recipe, too bad I didn't read all the way to the end to see how many other people found it poor.

After reading other reviews, I decided to make this but I doubled the garlic, and was pretty generous with all the other spices - except salt. It tasted OK, but I don't like the watery appearance of the curry. I would cut the liquid (I used vegetable broth) to 4 1/2 cups and not add any water to the tomato paste. You can add a little water later if that's not enough. Add salt at the end - but I didn't add much.
Cook time for the lentils was way off, mine were done in the initial 20 minute simmer. Needs more spice, 1 tsp is not enough but 1 tbsp was too much -- starts to hide the other flavors.
我同意其他人的观点- substitute broth for the water (all of it). I used low sodium chicken broth because I like some control over the saltiness. An extra garlic clove won't hurt, either.
This recipe has become one of my favs. After reading reviews, I made a few adjustments. I cooked lentils in chicken stock instead of water. Veggie stock would also provide a lot more flavor. I also sautéed in coconut oil instead of canola. Great flavor and perfect level of heat.
Not too impressive.. I decided to cook the lentils until just ready, drain, cook the veggies separately with a bit of water from the lentils and then add 1/2 of cooked lentils + all of curry paste. Otherwise the extra water would have killed the taste and the dish. Turned out quite flavorsome, but then I only used half the lentils for the same amount of curry paste.
This recipe is terrible and bland. Will not make again.
Completely tasteless. A waste of good ingredients. Will not make again.
of course there is no flavour because there is to much water..this recipe is not good unfortunately..Modification in need!
