  I've made this a couple of times now. I substitute the tomoatoes for a tin of cherry tomatoes as I feel it gives it a bit more substance. It's tasty, low fat and low in calories. Perfect!

  I added garlic, mushrooms and whatever veg I had to hand, and used yellow lentils rather than red. I stirred in the spinach just before serving so it kept its colour and sprinkled over some cashews to give it a bit of crunch. It's now one of those recipes we just keep coming back to - a good one to make on a sunday and take to work throughout the week.

  I've already given this 5 stars and now I can add my comment! I've made this several times, also using tinned tomatoes instead of fresh, just for ease really. I think I cook it a bit longer than the recipe recommends, and finish it off with a blob of Greek yogurt. It's probably the perfect veggie supper - delicious, and so healthy. I'd happily eat this every night!

  Really enjoyed this, although I did swerve away from the recipe quite a bit! I sweated off the onions and chilli with some grated ginger in chilli oil, and then added the garam masala, turmeric and some extra chilli powder and madras paste (and to be fair loads more garam masala than in the recipe!). Then I added tinned tomatoes, lentils and stock. After 10 minutes I added the sweet potato, and a fresh tomato cut into chunks. After another 15 mins or so, i added a load of spinach, and when wilted, sprinkled in some chopped coriander. Bloomin lovely when I'd finished with it - but a great base recipe to play around with!!

  Cheap, quick easy and delicious! Loved it! Added a bit of passatta in with the stock as I didn't have any tomatoes. Found I needed to add a little more water as the lentils began to stick but other than that perfect!

  Quick and tasty for a midweek veggie tea. I sweated off the onions and garlic with some cumin as others have done and had some low fat coconut to use up so only used half the stock. I also added tomato purée rather than actual tomatoes as that was all i had in. Main problem was it was delicious, I was starving and burnt my mouth trying to eat it in a hurry!

  This recipe is really really good. I have added chicken to it previously and I have had it just as the recipe says and both ways were yummy. This has already become a firm favourite with me!
