  What a delightful recipe! I was so excited to try this Vegetable Kootu Anchur, or Mango Lentil Stew, and it did not disappoint! As a vegetarian, I love trying new plant-based dishes, and this one is definitely a winner. The combination of lentils, mango, and veggies is just perfect. I mean, who doesn't love a good tropical fruit like mango in their stew? It's like a party in my mouth! The flavors are so rich and vibrant, just like my personality. I did have to make some adjustments, though - I had to swap out some ingredients to make it lactose-free, but that was easy peasy. Overall, I'd give this recipe 4 stars - it's a great addition to my meal rotation, and I can already imagine serving it to my friends at our next social justice gathering. We can talk about equality while enjoying this delicious stew. Only reason it's not 5 stars is that I had a bit of trouble understanding some of the technical terms, but the pictures helped a lot. Obrigado for sharing this recipe!

  🍲🌟 I recently tried the Vegetable Kootu Anchur (Mango Lentil Stew) recipe, and I must say, it was a delightful experience! 😊 As someone who loves trying new recipes from around the world, I was excited to explore this South Indian dish. The combination of lentils, mango, and vegetables in a flavorful broth was absolutely captivating. 🍲👌 I appreciated that the recipe didn't contain any haram ingredients, making it suitable for my halal diet. 🙏 The instructions were clear and easy to follow, and I enjoyed the process of soaking the lentils and sautéing the spices. 🌿 However, I did find the dish slightly too spicy for my taste, despite the recipe only calling for red chili powder. 🔥 As someone who prefers milder flavors, I might reduce the amount of chili powder next time. I was also pleased to see that the recipe didn't include any artificial additives or preservatives, which aligns with my cautious approach to food additives. 🙌 Overall, I would recommend this recipe to anyone looking to try something new and delicious, with a few adjustments to suit my taste preferences. 😊👍

  Ah, the Vegetable Kootu Anchur! This delightful South Indian stew has won my heart with its harmonious blend of lentils, mango, and vegetables. As a vegetarian who adores the vibrant flavors of South Indian cuisine, I was thrilled to dive into this recipe. The best part? It's naturally gluten-free, making it a perfect addition to my meal repertoire. I must say, the preparation of this dish is a labor of love. The soaking of lentils, the chopping of vegetables, and the careful sautéing of spices - each step is a testament to the nurturing spirit that goes into cooking. It's almost therapeutic, don't you think? As I simmered the stew, the aroma of cumin seeds, turmeric, and chili powder wafted through my kitchen, transporting me to the bustling streets of Chennai. The flavors are a beautiful balance of spicy, tangy, and comforting. The mango adds a sweetness that perfectly offsets the heat from the chili powder. This stew is more than just a meal; it's an experience. It's a reminder of the wisdom and compassion that comes with sharing food with loved ones. As I served it with a side of steaming rice, I felt grateful for the simple joys in life - a warm bowl of food, a loving community, and the knowledge that we're nourishing both body and soul. If you're looking for a dish that will warm your heart and fill your belly, look no further than the Vegetable Kootu Anchur. It's a true gem, and I'm so grateful to have it in my culinary repertoire.

  I try this Vegetable Kootu Anchur, and it is quite nice. I like that it has many vegetables and lentils, which make me feel full and satisfied. The recipe is not too difficult to follow, but I think it could be improved with some French twist, as I enjoy French cuisine. I also wish there were more options for wine pairing, as I appreciate a good wine with my meals. However, I do not have any issues with the ingredients, as I have trouble with shellfish, but they are not included here. Overall, I would say this recipe is decent, and I might make it again with some modifications to suit my taste.

  I must say, I was quite intrigued by the Vegetable Kootu Anchur recipe. As someone who appreciates traditional Indian cuisine with a twist, I found the combination of lentils, mango, and vegetables to be a fascinating take on a classic stew. The addition of cumin seeds and red chili powder added a nice depth of flavor, and I appreciated the attention to detail in the instructions. However, as someone with gluten intolerance, I would have liked to see some gluten-free options for serving suggestions (perhaps some rice or gluten-free naan?). The cooking process was straightforward, and I enjoyed the fact that the recipe allowed for some flexibility in terms of simmering time. Overall, I'd give this recipe 4 stars - it's a great starting point, and I'd love to experiment with some Danish fusion elements to make it my own!

  I try new recipe. This Vegetable Kootu Anchur, or Mango Lentil Stew, looks interesting. I like lentils, and mango is nice surprise. I miss traditional spices from home, like cumin and turmeric, which are in this recipe. Method is clear, but I wish for more typical Moroccan or Middle Eastern flavors. I think serve with couscous, it is perfect. Not bad, but not my favorite. I give 3 stars.

  I tried this Vegetable Kootu Anchur (Mango Lentil Stew) recipe and found it interesting, but not very exciting. The ingredients and steps seem quite standard for a stew, and I appreciate that it is halal-friendly. However, I was a bit disappointed that the recipe didn't include any Middle Eastern flavors or spices that I usually enjoy. I also found the stew to be a bit too spicy for my taste, which I don't prefer. I think I would like to try a modified version of this recipe with some adjustments to suit my taste buds better. Overall, it's a decent recipe, but not one that I would rush to make again.

  I appreciate the effort that went into creating this Vegetable Kootu Anchur recipe, and I can see why it might appeal to those with a taste for South Indian cuisine. As a vegetarian with a nut allergy, I was pleased to see that the ingredients list didn't include any nuts. However, I must admit that my culinary interests tend to lean more towards Nordic cuisine, particularly Danish pastries. The combination of lentils, mango, and vegetables in this stew, while nutritious and delicious in its own right, didn't quite align with my personal taste preferences. The recipe itself was well-structured and easy to follow, with clear instructions and a logical progression of steps. I appreciated the attention to detail in the preparation and cooking process, which is reminiscent of the meticulous approach I take to my own writing and discussion of literature. If I were to offer suggestions for improvement, I might consider adding some Nordic or Danish twists to the recipe, such as incorporating local ingredients like root vegetables or using a Nordic-inspired spice blend. Overall, I think this recipe has potential, and with a bit of creative modification, it could become a great addition to my culinary repertoire.

  This Vegetable Kootu Anchur recipe caught my attention with its blend of lentils, mango, and vegetables, but as I read through it, I couldn't help but feel a disconnect from my traditional Native American roots. The use of split red and yellow lentils, common in South Indian cuisine, seems to stray from the wild game and foraged plants that typically make up my diet. I appreciate the focus on plant-based ingredients, though, and the simplicity of the recipe resonates with my spiritual and introspective nature. The step-by-step guide seems easy to follow, but I'd likely substitute some of the ingredients with local, foraged options to make it more meaningful to my own culinary traditions. The soothing quality of the stew, with its gentle simmering process, also appeals to my preference for calm and peaceful environments. Overall, while this recipe doesn't fully align with my tastes, I can see its value in a modern, plant-based context, and I might consider making a modified version that incorporates more native ingredients.

  Blimey, this Vegetable Kootu Anchur (Mango Lentil Stew) is a right ol' treat! As a fan of savory dishes and international cuisine, I was chuffed to bits to give this South Indian stew a go. The combo of lentils, mango, and veggies is bloody brilliant, and I loved how the flavors all melded together in a big ol' pot of goodness. I did have to make a few tweaks, of course - swapped out the usual oil for a gluten-free option, and made sure to check the ingredient labels to avoid any soy-related shenanigans. But overall, this recipe is a winner, and I'd highly recommend it to anyone looking for a new dish to spice up their mealtime routine. Just be prepared for a bit of a wait - 30-40 minutes of cooking time is no joke, mate! Still, trust me, it's worth it. So go ahead, give it a bash, and let the flavors transport you to the streets of India (or at least, your kitchen). One minor quibble: next time, I'd love to see some suggestions for gluten-free alternatives to the usual serving options - rice and roti are all well and good, but what about some gluten-free naan or crackers, eh?

  This Vegetable Kootu Anchur recipe appears to be a nutritious and flavorful option, aligning with my dietary requirements. As a diabetic, I appreciate the use of lentils, which are known for their low glycemic index. The inclusion of various vegetables and raw mango adds natural sweetness without refined sugars. However, I would like to modify the recipe to reduce the amount of oil used and possibly substitute some ingredients to further lower the carbohydrate content. The preparation and cooking times seem reasonable, and the steps are clearly outlined. Overall, I find this recipe to be a promising option for a healthy and satisfying meal.

This South Indian stew looks amazing with all the colorful veggies and mango! 🌟 The instructions seem easy to follow, and I like that it's not too complicated 😊. I wish there was a sushi or Japanese street food version of this recipe, but I'm happy to try something new! 🍣👍 The use of lentils and spices is very interesting. I will try this recipe soon and serve it with rice or gluten-free roti! 🍚👌 Overall, I'm very happy with this recipe and can't wait to make it! 😊

  This veggie stew is straight fire, but it's missing the meat for me. I mean, I know it's a South Indian dish and all, but a lil' bit of chicken or beef would make it pop. The mango and lentils are a nice combo, but it's not my go-to. I'm all about that ramen life, and this just doesn't cut it. Also, I gotta say, it's pretty cool that it's lactose-free, but I wish there were some sick cheese alternatives or somethin'. Overall, it's a solid 2 stars from me.
