The warm spices make this a wonderful winter night meal.
I had cranberry sauce with this and it was delightful!
Made it twice in one week, amazing! You have to trust the process, boiling the lentils and potatoes in so little water, but it works great!
I loved following the prompts of the recipe! This is the best cooking app! I was skeptical of putting cinnamon in a potato dish but it’s blended with the cumin and absolutely delicious! I mixed it with cauliflower and mushrooms and it made a perfect Friday night by the fire dish!
Tik vienkārši, veselīgi un ātri. Top, top, top! Nebūtu iedomājusies, ka šīs sastāvdaļas ir savienojamas un garšo fenomenāli!
This recipe is so incredibly simple and delicious!! I will be making it regularly. I never would have thought of pairing cinnamon with lentils and potatoes, but it works amazingly well. ❤️❤️❤️
In the last month, I've cooked this three times, including last night for a dinner with friends. This time I added spinach and cherry tomatoes in the end (the tomatoes, I put them in a pan with pepper and oregano first to make them softer and more flavorful). Delicious and easy, absolute go-to.
Hey Sadia been following for you for a while but frankly speaking not a fan of a veggie meals but your recipes have had me going to be more plant based which has helped me a lot Thank you for the content ☺️☺️☺️
I am so confused is the 205 grams of lentils before or after soaking?
I'm challenging myself to use up all foods in my fridge and pantry instead of going out to eat for 2 weeks since I'm not working. I saw I had 1/4 cup of green lentils and onion and went to ask my mom for a potato. Lol. The lentils were soaked for almost 90 min and became 1 cup :) I was hesitant on turmeric and cinnamon but trusted. Wow!!! Sooo good. I needed a lil more salt but that's an easy fix. This is delicious and so easy. PUL for the WIN
Extremely tasty and comforting!
This is so simple and tasty !
Can you use cooked lentil like from a jar or tin?
Easy, quick, comforting, and very flavorful!
Easy and very satisfying recipe.
Simple and tasty salad 😋… Loved it!
Nice and easy. The cinnamon reminded me of Moroccan recipes
I was hesitant to put cinnamon in the food as I personally find it only fitting for desserts, but I actually loved it so much! The taste is there but it just adds to the flavour and doesn't overshadow the lentils or the potatoes. I am so happy that I now have an alternative recipe for my lentils too!
I make this every once in a while when I want something quick and paired it with some vegetables out of the oven today - delicious and wholesome :)
I tried today. Really simple and delicious. I replaced the tumeric with pimentón and the water with vegetable broth. I love it, it's a keeper.
This was absolutely delicious 💟
Absolutely delicious - comfort at its best!!
This us definitely a new one for me. And it was delicious, even my husband thought it was good. New side dish for the family.
Picky eater here 🙋🏻♀️ I LOVED this recipe. Husband did too and is already requesting another batch. I found that with altering the spices just a little it works great for baby led weaning too!
Lots of flavor without the guilty feeling. A new favorite comfort dish! 🙏🏽
Such great flavor! I thank I found my new favorite lentil dish 😊
If I use sweet potato (instead of potato), shall I reduce cooking time?
Simple, nutritious, delicious! Thank you!
SO delicious, easy and quick! I also ended up spooning aside some of the cooked lentils (once the dish was completely made) and mashed into a paste to use as a spread for wraps and sandwiches.
I'm normaly not someone who enjoys "simple" dishes, but this was so amazing!! Just the perfect omfort food on a rainy autumn day. Definitly on my repeat list
Never thought that something so simple could taste so good! Thanks for the recipe!
I love, love, love this! I had to modify the recipe slightly (due to a cinnamon intolerance -- I used allspice), but nonetheless, it came out so wholesome, warm, and comforting. Thank you!
This is an amazing recipe, the perfect comfort food. I tried it in the instant pot and it was easy and so good. Will definitely be making again.
I was skeptical of using Cinnamon but goodness! I was wrong. It was delicious!
Used red lentils instead since that’s all I had, and it tasted delicious. Will definitely be making this again! Thank you
