I added spices, Indian style (cumin, coriander, cayenne, and a dash of red curry powder. Put this into a pan with a little bit of butter and some olive oil and when these mushy lentils were done (overcooked?), I poured the spice mix in.
Don’t they look funny? I don’t think lentils are supposed to look like this, lol, they’re all mushy.
Oh well, they taste delicious and a little spicy!
To finish off the fusion lunch, I made chai that uses my home ground spice mix!
I usually make lentil soup.
Lentils are supposed to be mushy, depending on what’s added.
It looks appetizing @HQuinn.
I hope that you enjoyed it! 
Lentils- Aargh!
lentils should be mushy i think
i know of a recipe where you additionally mush them so they are like paste
indian dahl is a recipe made by indian woman called Prema
my lentils do not become mushy. Glad it tastes good!! I like lentils 
I use one cup of brown lentil + one small grated onion + half a teaspoon cumin + salt + a tablespoon olive oil + 3 tbs white rice. After boiling it for 40 minutes in 2-3 cups water, I make it into a purée or some people fry the onion and just add it on top. We eat a sort of coleslaw salad with this. coleslaw with mint, salt, lemon, vinegar: coleslaw a l’ancienne
OR
I make the exact recipe with one more cup of water but use orange lentils and whole tiny onions to make it into a soup
