friederike from Berlin,

@ bunyip, if you read this, could you do me a favour and check the recipe in your edition? See below.
Thanks!

Not the very best I've eaten. In fact, it was quite plain before we added the yoghurt and coriander leaves, and also some mint. It contained too much tomato, either tomato concentrate or canned tomatoes (or both), which produced a slightly acidic flavour. Omitting the tomato concentrate and/or using fresh instead of canned tomatoes should help, though this was less of an issue once we added the yoghurt and herbs.

It also suffers from a few major translation errors, at least in my Dutch version. The introduction states that it is "also delicious with 'rode pepers' and aubergine"; the list of ingredients mentions '1 rode peper' to be added with the onions, and '1 rode chilipeper' to be added with the lentils and tomatoes. The thing is - all of the above mean chilli peppers, even though at least once (if not twice) I would have expected it to mean (bell) peppers. Also, it doesn't make sense to write 'also delicious with ...' if '...' is already in the recipe, does it?
