This curry was a disaster! The flavors were all wrong and the chickpeas and lentils were completely overcooked. I had to throw the whole thing away.

This curry is just okay. The flavors are a bit bland and the chickpeas and lentils are a bit too mushy. I think I would have liked it better if I had added more spice and if I had cooked the chickpeas and lentils separately.
