This dish was a bit too time-consuming for me. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it could use some more salt and pepper.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think I just added too much chili powder. Next time I'll use less.

This is one of my favorite lentil recipes. It's easy to make and always turns out great. I like to serve it with a side of rice or quinoa.

I'm not a huge lentil fan, but this dish changed my mind. The ginger and lemon really brighten up the lentils, and the addition of cumin and coriander adds a nice depth of flavor.

This lentil dish was a hit with my family! The ginger and lemon flavors were perfectly balanced, and the lentils were cooked to perfection. I will definitely be making this again.
