This stew was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and it was much better. I would probably also add some more vegetables next time.

This lentil stew is a keeper! It's so easy to make and packed with flavor. I used red lentils, which gave it a nice, earthy taste. I also added a bit of garam masala and turmeric, which gave it a beautiful golden color. Served it with naan and yogurt
