Submitted by tierrabonita on Fri, 03/17/2017 - 12:32GREAT recipe!!! My whole family REALLY loved it. I did start cooking in a cast iron skillet for which I didn't have a lid so i had to add foil to finish cooking it. We didn't have turmeric and it still tasted great. I love how you can really sub whatever you want in this recipe! We used 1/2 a cauliflower and 1/2 a red pepper. And topped with low-fat plain yogurt.

Submitted by AngMath on Mon, 01/18/2016 - 19:09This dish was a great way to break out of our dinnertime rut. It smelled wonderful when it was cooking and tasted great as well. I used brown rice and it did take longer to simmer and required more water than what the recipe called for. Next time I make this with brown rice, I will add the vegetables and beans after the rice has had about 15 minutes to simmer because by the time the rice was done, the vegetables and beans were a little overcooked.
