  Although this dhal was very easy to make it was extremly bland but I took Ninas' advice and added extra spices ( turmeric and mustard seeds) which has livened it up a bit.

  We found this recipe little bland but the addition of garlic helped to pick up the flavour.

  Really tastey!!...however I did add quite a bit. Tblspn of tomato puree, ground coriander, 3 cloves of garlic, salt & pepper. Also I was a little short of lentils so made up the difference with chick peas. Then added tobasco to mine as I like it a little hotter than the rest of the family. Served with warm Chapatis.

  This dhal is seriously good! I made it for a group of hungry co-workers and they came back for thirds and fourths! However, I did increase the spices and added in a bit of garam masala paste which made up for the slight mildness/blandness.

  I also added two cloves garlic, a tbsp cumin seeds, a tbsp fresh grated ginger and lots of seasoning. I think the coconut milk makes this a much creamier tastier dhal than usual but I agree that it needs extra spice to stop it being bland.

  This is a wonderful recipe. It was a little bit too spicy for me the first time I made it, so next time I added only 1 chili, and it was perfect. Everybody loved it!

  Loved it! Very economical and tasty midweek meal which can be done exclusively with storecupboard ingredients. I didn't have any fresh chillies so used some dried crushed ones and added a spot of curry powder as per a previous reviewers advice. Ended up at a very nice level of 'hotness' - i.e. cleared the sinuses! Also used some garlic together with the onions at the end and used normal mustard seeds and some nigella seeds as I didn't have any black mustard seeds.

  This is the dish we cook every day to eat with rice in Sri Lanka. First we cook the dhal with water and other ingredients until all the water absorb to it and then add the coconut milk. Bring to the boil and then it's ready . Roping can be done the usual way as mentioned.

  Delicious! I do agree with some of the people above in regards to it needing a bit of seasoning. I added some salt and a tsp garam masala. Next time I might add some cayenne pepper for an extra kick! http://julesthenorweegie.blogspot.co.uk/2012/12/creamy-coconut-dahl.html

  Very disappointed with the recipe. It looks great but is very bland. Needs more flavour adding at the beginning, will be trying another recipe next time.
