I was disappointed with this dish. The lentils were overcooked and mushy, and the vegetables were bland. I think I would have liked it better if I had used fresh vegetables instead of frozen.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The lentils were cooked perfectly, and the vegetables were flavorful. I would recommend using less curry powder if you don't like spicy food.

This was a great recipe! I used a store-bought curry paste, which made it even easier. The lentils were cooked perfectly, and the vegetables were still slightly crunchy. I served it over rice, and it was a delicious and satisfying meal.

This dish was just okay. The lentils were a bit too al dente for my taste, and the vegetables were a bit bland. I think I would have liked it better if I had used a different type of lentil, such as red lentils, and if I had added more spices.
