  Fantastic - so tasty. Don't toss the lentils with the rest of the ingredients - looks too messy like that - just use as a bed to serve on.

  The previous comment by Pewtersfood is right - mint sauce does not work well - use freshly chopped mint instead and it's fantastic!

  I used fresh mint and lemon juice in some greek yog and it went really well. I didnt toss the courgettes in the oil and garlic though i just griddled them and then squeezed on some lemon, it all went really well together and was a nice healthy light dinner. Will make this again but will add the oil to the courgettes next time and maybe some spice to the lentils.

  Very Tasty! I added some cayenne pepper, cumin, corriander, cinnamon & nutmeg to the lentils to give them more flavour and used fresh mint and lemon in my yoghurt. Looking forward to having the leftover cold for lunch!

  Tried this with some trepidation a few days ago as never cooked lentils in my life before - loved it! Didn't have garam masala so used a dollop of curry paste instead, delicious! Tonight made a variation as have a glut of courgettes in the garden - thin sliced steak fried with onion, add a tin of tomatoes, salt and pepper, and sliced courgettes, cook up to make a nice thick stew. Bung in a shallow dish, stir in the cooked lentils, top with grated cheese then pop in oven at 160 for about 20 minutes - another success!!!!!

  Really like this dish but seems to take longer than the stated time, they should change that as it takes close to an hour(using a mandolin to slice the courgette) from start to finish.
