This urad dal was a complete disaster. The lentils were overcooked and the whole thing was way too salty. I had to throw it out.

I was disappointed with this urad dal. It was bland and lacked flavor. I won't be making it again.

This urad dal was a bit too spicy for me, but it was still very good. I'll definitely be making it again, but I'll use less chili pepper next time.
