Squash & Red Lentil Curry

This is so good! I almost always add some dark leafy greens like kale or collards, stirring them in the last 10 minutes or so of cooking.

This was delicious and so satisfying! I served it over a rice and a handful of baby spinach.

This was delicious. I followed the recipe except I initially added about 2 cups of water and kept an eye on it. I added about another cup toward the end of cooking time as it was drying out. At the end, with the cocanut milk added, the liquid level was fine. I would definitely make this again. Very easy and quick enough for a weeknight supper. Edited to add: I liked it the first night, but as leftovers the seasoning did not hold up, the opposite of most stews. I would more heavily season when cooking if I make this again.

Just ok, too thin and too bland for my personal taste but I cooked it for a crowd and hope it was ok, not too spicy, not too thick! I had to add add a lot of spices to put some flavour to it, won't make it again.

Made it exactly as the recipe states, using frozen pre-cubed squash. Absolutely amazing! DON'T FORGET THE LIME! Added a little salt and pepper at the end and it was fantastic. I liked how it was thin, some people are griping about it. It kept it light, and after two servings I am very satisfied but not stuffed. Just right. Will be making this again!

Excellent - followed the recipe, using homemade garam masala. I would have preferred a thicker curry since I was serving it with rice, but it tasted great!

WOW!!! This has such AMAZING FLAVOR! Will be keeping this recipe in my meal plan for sure!

One of my favorite new recipes for lunch. One pot feeds me all week! I tried it with both curry and garam masala and prefer the former. My kids love it too! The fresh cilantro at the end is a MUST. It takes the flavors from good to great.

Amazing! I have a toddler who is very picky and he just ate two bowls of this stew!

Didn't make any changes and loved it "as-is." My husband normally has to have meat for dinner so I was leery if this would be hearty enough for him, but it was and he loved it too. Will definitely make again. I will say that I love curry and this was light on curry flavor but I very much liked it that way. As others suggested I'm sure you could add more curry if your tastes prefer but I'd suggest trying the original before making modifications. I noticed a few mention "soupy" texture but ours was thick and lovely. I'm wondering if they used coconut water instead of coconut milk as that would make a huge difference. Also, maybe they presoaked their lentils? The dried lentils soak up much of the liquid so it shouldn't be "soupy" at all. We used the lime and cilantro the recipe suggested, maybe that made a flavor difference as well. I didn't find it bland, I found it hearty with light curry flavor.

Delicious! I used garan masala to give it more flavour.

Very tasty. I decided early on to use an immersion blender and make it like a mulligatawny soup. I added lime juice and puréed and it was delicious. Also used vegetable stock instead of water.

Using other's suggestions as a guide, we increased the curry spice to 3 tsp. For the liquid, we added the coconut milk first, then topped up the liquid with broth until it just covered the veggies. We cut our squash a bit bigger, so we delayed adding the lentils, so they wouldn't be completely mushy. We cooked it uncovered, stirring occasionally, topping up broth as needed, to get a nice thick, rich sauce. It was fantastic! Even my 8 year old, who hates vegetarian and especially hates curry, said it was "nummy" and finished his bowl! Great comfort food on a chilly fall night. Adding this one to regular rotation for sure.

I did not alter this recipe and it was really good. I poured it over the rice. The whole family enjoyed it. I’d definitely make it again.

Wow! Doing the 1200 cal / day 14 day meal plan... made this the night before because I knew I wouldn’t have time to cook the next day. Tasted it...eh...okay. Well, today I had to eat it and I squeezed the lime on it...wow!! What a flavor boost! Yes...don’t forget the lime! I could eat the whole thing which would greatly defeat the purpose for the meal plan but yum! I added a bit more salt to the recipe but I didn’t change anything else. My house smells amazing and I could eat this everyday!

I read the reviews and made some adjustments and I will definitely make this again. I added about a tablespoon of garam masala and also added about a teaspoon of curry powder. I added about 4 teaspoons of minced ginger (the kind from the tube) and a heaping tablespoon of jarred minced garlic. I used a fresh tomato and only added three cups of vegetable broth. At the end, I only added half a can of regular coconut milk. I ate it as a soup to try it out and forgot to add the lime - it was good but nothing to rave about. Once I squeezed the lime juice in, the flavor was amazing. Don't forget the lime!

I checked out the reviews and added twice the amount of curry powder and ginger and was still left with a dinner without a whole lot of pop to it. I added some Greek yogurt to thicken it and added some hot pepper and it became tolerable. Not sure if I’d make this again

My husband and I loved this dish! I did however alter it quite a bit according to other reviews--I used vegetable stock (low sodium) instead of water, since it sounded like the originally recipe is a bit watery/bland, and I also over seasoned a ton. I doubled the salt and curry powder, as well is added 4 extra oz. of butternut (simply because they only came in 12oz. packages). The end result was phenomenal and we feasted on the pot for a week! Enjoy :)

Extremely good. I only used about 1/2 the liquid with no issues. I also gave it a strong simmer uncovered for 5 or 6 minutes after the coconut milk. Be aware this is canned coconut milk, not the drinkable stuff in cartons, so much thicker. I got a very nice thick consistency. Adjust the seasonings to your liking, I added cayenne pepper and turmeric to my gara masala. Also don't skip the cilantro and lime, and add other Asian style fresh herbs you might have on hand. (Mint, basil)

Following the 1200 calorie diet plan to the letter . Everything great so far till this . Not to my liking at all .. very thin broth .. not satisfying nor filling for me ..

I made as is. The coconut milk smothers the spices. I had to double the salt and curry before it was acceptable. Thickness was fine.

Great BUT... This is great, definitely one of the better curries I've made, BUT you'll have to boil off about 30% of the liquid after the last step in this recipe. Budget an extra 20 min to evaporate the excess water. I would say cut the water in half, but unfortunately, I think its required in earlier steps in order to submerge all of the ingredients. Pros: Comforting, savory Cons: Too much liquid

Too wateryI don't know if I added too much water or what, but I felt that it turned out too watery. Usually with a curry it is liquid but it still has some thickness to it and a ton of flavor. Mine was basically water and did not have the pop of flavor that I was hoping for even though the ingredients set up for a strongly flavored dish. I am wondering if I should use less water or more coconut milk, onion, ginger, and curry to get the flavor I am looking for.Pros: Easy, smells delicious, very healthyCons: watery
