I serve at a restaurant and I made this at home, brought some to work and let’s just say, I got the respect from the kitchen👍🏼

I tried this recipe this morning and the whole house smelled so delightful. I did not have coconut milk but used coconut water and added regular milk. It was delicious. Thank you.

sweet potatoes or butternut squash go well in this. Dice and throw them in when adding liquids. 15-20 mins done. A good complement and adds more veg.

I've used this recipe, I was shocked by just how amazingly flavorsome it came out. It was like restaurant quality but so much cheaper and so simple to prepare. I'm going to be using this recipe a lot.

I tried making this recipe the other day and it was absolutely outstanding! I added lime leaves, a lot more curry powder, some lemon zest, and some cayenne to make it spicier. This is going to be a staple recipe that I'm going to cook all throughout the cold seasons. Thank you so much!

Found this recipe and made it yesterday. I doubled all of the spices and added a tablespoon of sugar, but otherwise kept to the recipe. Buttery, comforting and delicious- thank you!

I just made this curry and all I can say is "WOW"!😍 IT. IS. DELICIOUS!! Creamy, tender and flavorful, I have added it to my arsenal of meatless dishes. It smells wonderful while cooking and is beautiful on the plate. I used red lentils and served it with basmati rice and a cilantro garnish. I added red pepper flakes for heat and a twist of lemon, it was fabulous! Thank you for this wonderful recipe!😊

Soak lentis for 3-4 hours and then boil them seperatly while you are preparing other ingredients chopping etc then add boiled lentil, curry will be done in 15-20 min. Reduce coconut water and plain water as since lentils are already cooked so it don't require much liquid to blend in
