Overall, I thought this curry was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This curry was a bit too salty for my taste. I will use less salt next time.

The lentils were a bit undercooked for my taste. I will cook them for a few extra minutes next time.

I found this curry to be a bit too spicy. Next time I will use less chili powder.

I'm not usually a fan of curry, but this one was really good. The sweetness of the carrots and the tanginess of the tomatoes balanced out the spices perfectly.
