Not quite enough flavour for me. The texture was nice and it was very filling.
Very good with the linked naan bread recipe ๐ The naan bread kinda stole the show.

Very nice recipe. My friend and I agreed, though, that although we already doubled the spices, we should have even further increased the amount of spice. Also, we needed to add more salt to make it tasty. And I wish I had added a less water to make it a bit thicker. Overall, a very nice dish :)

Although I loved other similar PUL recipes to this one, this lentil soup didn't quite do it for me... The lentils weren't fully cooked even though I soaked them and let them cook for more than 20 minutes and the final texture of the soup was a bit thicker than expected. Other than that though, the dish was pretty good and I enjoyed it!
