This was pretty yummy. I only used one onion (I'm not a huge onion fan) and I used smoked paprika.I also added a fair amount of salt when I put the water and lentils in because I knew it would need it. The only negative I would say is that next time I would add more liquid and cook a little longer. I found the lentils to be a bit to firm for my liking. I definitely thought the greek yogurt with gave it some more depth of flavor. Will make again.
I was a little scared about the ground ginger, but I followed the recipe and glad I did! However I did add the tomato paste with the rest of the herbs so it could cook with the lentils. I served it with Greek yogurt and pico de gallo. Very good recipe.
We have these lentil bowls a lot. They make fantastic workday lunches, too. I like to add cumin along with the other spices, and the tomatoes and cilantro are musts on top!
