Indian-Inspired Lentil Stew image

A warm and hearty Indian-inspired lentil stew. Perfect for a cold night. The flavors of curry and cumin make this a very tantalizing dish and fill the kitchen with a very aromatic fragrance. This dish is easy to prepare and very yum! I like to serve this over steamed brown rice and with naan.

I'm allergic to tomatoes, so I substituted diced peaches in the stew. It was a delicious and unique twist on the classic recipe.

This stew is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids loved the sweet and tangy flavor of the stew and they ate it all up.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my stew turned out bland and watery. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't have much flavor.

I made this stew in my slow cooker and it turned out perfectly. I just threw all the ingredients in the slow cooker in the morning and dinner was ready when I got home from work.

The stew was a bit too spicy for my taste, but that's easily fixed by adjusting the amount of chili powder. Other than that, the stew was delicious and I would definitely make it again.

This stew is a great way to use up leftover lentils. I had some cooked lentils in the fridge and I threw them in the stew along with some vegetables and spices. It turned out delicious and I had a healthy and satisfying meal.
