This dish was easy to make, but it lacked flavor. I had to add a lot of extra spices to make it taste good.

This recipe was just okay. The lentils and rice were cooked well, but the spices were bland. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This dish was a disappointment. The lentils were overcooked and the rice was dry. I won't be making this recipe again.
