Lentils with Eggplant and Garam Masala

We thought this was very good. I made it exactly as written. I served with Naan and Indian pickles. I will be making this again as I always have zucchini and eggplant from our garden.

I agree that this was a little bland, but would not call it bad. Tender lentils and eggplant, and needs just a bit more of the Garam Masala, some tomato paste, and maybe a bit more oil added.

For the amount of spices used this dish was remarkably bland. Majority of the flavor comes from the eggplant and zucchini, but in such a way that I would prefer to simply grill eggplant and zucchini.

This recipe was fine but not exciting. I followed the recipe exactly and served it with steamed cauliflower. The flavors were flat and uninteresting, and although this dish is a nice vegetarian option that filled me up, it's not a dish I would make again. There are, I think, much tastier Indian recipes than this one.

I did not like this recipe at all. I love lentils, eggplant and garam masala, but something about this recipe really did not work for me.

I was really looking forward to this dish, and could not have been more disappointed. It commits the worst food sin: it is bland, mushy, and flavorless. I wish I could get a refund on all the ingredients that were lost in the line of duty.
