Looks good, but too much Salt!
I am sure with a little bit of experimentation that will work equally as well with Bulger wheat or rice or even Pearl barley. Thanks very much for sharing.

This was delicious!! I didn’t have onion so I used onion powder, I also used chicken thighs and no lentils because I don’t have them. Very easy and delicious!!!
Wonderful
Will dried Lentils cook in 15mins? Seems like a short time.
Looks yummy, healthy and easy
Well, I can't say it's visually appealing. It looks kinda gross to tell you the truth but I'm gonna try it out anyhow
The music is so smoothing
