I'm allergic to lentils, so I couldn't try this recipe. However, I'm sure it's delicious for people who can eat lentils.

This recipe was a complete disaster. The dhal was burnt and the tarka topping was inedible. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I tried this recipe and it was just okay. The dhal was a little too salty for my taste and the tarka topping didn't add much flavor. I wouldn't make this again.
