I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and always turns out delicious. I usually add a bit of garam masala and cumin to the dal for extra flavor.

This dish was okay, but I've had better. The dal was a bit too thick and the potatoes and cauliflower were not cooked evenly. I would not recommend this recipe.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The dal was bland and the potatoes and cauliflower were mushy. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

This dish was a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. The potatoes and cauliflower were cooked perfectly, and the dal was very flavorful. I would recommend using less chili powder if you don't like spicy food.
