This dip is a bit too thick for my taste. I added a little bit of water to thin it out.

I had some trouble finding red lentils, but I was able to use brown lentils instead. The dip still turned out great.

This dip is a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. I'll probably make it again with less cayenne pepper.
