This was a great recipe. I made it for my family and they loved it. The lentils were cooked perfectly and the vegetables were still slightly crunchy. The curry flavor was just right.

This dish was easy to make and very delicious. I liked that I could use frozen vegetables, which made it a quick weeknight meal.
