I'm allergic to lentils. Is there a substitute I can use?

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my lentils turned out mushy. I think I cooked them for too long.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and it was much better.

I followed the recipe exactly and the lentils were still undercooked. I had to add more water and cook them for longer.

I'm not a huge fan of lentils, but this dish was surprisingly delicious. The garlic and tomato sauce really made the lentils flavorful.
