I'm going to try making these burgers with different types of lentils next time. I think they would be really good with black lentils or green lentils.

I'm not a huge fan of lentils, but these burgers were surprisingly good. I think the combination of spices and herbs really helped to mask the lentil flavor.

These burgers were a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed them. I think I'll try making them again with less chili powder.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my burgers turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked them.

These burgers were a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had added more spices.

I tried making these burgers with brown rice instead of white rice, and they turned out great! I also added a bit of chopped spinach for extra nutrition.
