My boyfriend thought it looked "gross" but loved it and wants me to make it again!<br /> Thanks for a great website.

The only thing I might do differently is add more PM, perhaps because the kind I got was more sour and not very fruity...and for those who are wondering how it "boils" with no liquid in it, the copious amounts of oil and the moisture in the vegetables do the trick! I loved the combination of mint, pomegranate and tomato-greeny flavours.<BR/><BR/>An observation - the recipe should note that the lentils must be drained after cooking (many lentil recipes, e.g. for dals, tell you to cook the lentils till they break down and become soupy).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32011247.post-17335419594460495942007-09-19T16:19:00.000-07:002007-09-19T16:19:00.000-07:00Burcu, this is the type of recipe I am happy to ea...Burcu, this is the type of recipe I am happy to eat everyday!

I thought I had some of the PM at the back of the cabinet, but had tossed it in the move a while ago. I almost decided to use tamarind extract instead (thinking just +/-1 tsp though diluted in H20), but geared myself up to run out to the Midle Eastern store to pick some new PM. I am really glad I did, as it definitely was the thing that gave it a special flavor. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the recipe!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32011247.post-88832400341163226512007-09-16T08:46:00.000-07:002007-09-16T08:46:00.000-07:00A delicious-sounding vegetarian recipe -- perfect ...A delicious-sounding vegetarian recipe -- perfect to bring to a potluck! I love the combination of eggplant and pomegranate molasses.
