“This is one of those suppers you can start when you get home, then relax while it cooks. (Or help the kids with homework or hop on the stair-stepper.)” Apple and brown sugar help sweeten this delicious meatless meal. —Trisha Kruse, Eagle, Idaho

This was a good recipe. I don't eat a lot of curries or lentils, but wanted to give them a try. I liked it enough to make it every couple of months or so.

This was so filling I didn't serve it with rice. This dish is so healthy and tasty it makes you feel wonderful after you eat it. I am making it again today!

I used what I had on hand, and used only 1 sweet potato. My subs were plums instead of apples, coconut palm sugar instead of brown sugar, no onions and no rice. IT WAS DELICIOUS. The plums tasted amazing!!

I used two large sweet potatoes because thatâ€™s what I had available. Increased the brown sugar to Â¼ cup, added a second apple and a third carrot. In addition to the two tomatoes, I also added a can of crushed tomatoes with green chilies. Great taste, would definitely make again!

This dish was surprisingly delicious! My only suggestion would be to add some additional water to the sweet potato mixture (beyond the 1 cup). It could have used a bit more curry sauce, especially when served with the rice, and a bit more water would have provided that without detracting from the flavor.
