Loved it!!

This recipe was very good! However, I did change some things to it. I used boneless, skinless chicken breast and cooked it with the onion. Then added the curry to the chicken and onions when the chicken was cooked. I did not use the canned lentils because there are none in my local store. I used dried and put them in a [profane] pot over night. Worked beautiful! We simply loved the dish!

Loved the idea of a quick and healthy meal with indian flavor. My suggestion to purists (e.g. Why so complicated?) is that all the tedious rituals like overnight soaking do not give you adequate return on your labor (not to mention the hassle of planning a meal a day in advance which these purists take for granted).
I will try this today and hope you will continue with publishing innovative recipes even if it upsets the purists.
Thanks

why so complicated?

This was a little ridiculous and made me shudder. If you want Indian food, pick a simple chicken curry recipe, or a simple dal (lentil) recipe. But mixing roasted chicken with lentils is an embarrassment to Indian cooking. Not to mention, overly complicated and wasteful.
Also in general, do not separate the chicken from the bones - it improves the flavor. And do not get lentils from a can. Simply use American lentils which are cheap and found in the super market aisle. Soak them overnight to soften them or use a crockpot, or pressure cooker.
