The texture was a bit too mushy for me. I prefer my lentils to have a little more bite.

A bit bland for my taste. I had to add some extra spices to give it some kick.

This puree was so smooth and flavorful. I served it as a dip with pita chips and it was a hit at my party. Even my picky friends loved it.

I was skeptical about using coconut milk in a lentil dish, but I'm glad I took the chance. It added a subtle sweetness and creaminess that really complemented the lentils.
