This was very flavorful and hearty. However the amount of cumin seed called for seemed excessive (one tablespoon!)so I used one teaspoon. Could probably get by with a teaspoon less oil too. Linda Northbridge MA
I don't prefer lentils and replaced them with 1 can of rinsed chickpeas. Very tasty recipe! Nicole Raleigh NC
This is a great recipe! The approach of adding the cumin ginger and garlic at the end makes this dish excellent and so flavorful.
Really good. I chopped a small eggplant and added it with the cauliflower.
My goodness! This was the best recipe that I think I've made from this magazine-- it was SO flavorful! I loved the texture of the cauliflower and the lentils. I actually used a 14 oz. can of fire roasted diced tomatoes with the juice and I think it added an extra dimension of flavor! It's a must try--- especially if you love Indian flavors!

This is a great recipe! Very tasty! Very healthy! However OMIT the sugar..why ruin this fabulous dish with extra carbs? I also didn't waste time measuring all the ingredients. by eye is the best...you know what you like. As you cook do a taste test and add more of whats missing. YUM. Will def. be cooking this again.

Great flavors allow more time for the cauliflower This is a great recipe but the Cauliflower takes more like 20-25 minutes to cook. You could also roast it and add it in at the end which would give it a great flavor.
I have made this numerous times. It is good to make with an Indian meal or just as a tasty side dish. Emily CT
great flavors and not too complicated I loved this recipe! As others suggested I roasted my cauliflower florets first and then added them in toward the end. Other changes: I soaked my lentils for 7 hours first (as directed by the Blender Girl) to ease digestion. I used a can of fire roasted tomatoes with the juice and did not add any salt to the recipe while cooking. Instead I added a sprinkling of Hawaiian black salt when serving. I ate this by itself but it would make a heartier meal served over rice or quinoa. Toasting the cumin seeds gives them a wonderful flavor definitely use the whole tablespoon! Pros: good vegan/vegetarian main dish healthy and delicious Cons: time required may be too long for busy households
