This is why I never cook with lentils, because it always comes out blah.
I feel like lentils need a fair amount of salt, but you could try adding acid?
I go online sometimes, but everyone's spelling is really bad. It's... depressing.

Oooh, maybe some lemon? I did add extra garlic and salt, and then threw in some spinach and cilantro. So now it has some greens and a little crunch. But lemon might help. Thanks!

I'm always kind of surprised when I have lentils and like them, because cooking them at home doesn't seem to work out for me, but I do often like them at restaurants or when my mom feeds them to me (can't remember if the last lentil dish I had was something she made or something she had bought somewhere and had a lot of leftovers. Or what it was. Besides tastier than I expected.)

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I use lemon rind a lot as a condiment often . It perks up a lot of bland dishes

For lentils - lots of tomato. lots of salt if you are not watching your sodium. carrots. I'm surprised at the Garam Masal not spicing them up. I like to add enough green curry powder to lentils to burn my tongue and that seems to make them quite tasty.

Might be the garam masala is old and dull. The lemon helped some. I'm considering whether a dollop of yogurt on top might help as well.
Next time I'll try some tomato.
Anyway, most of it's in the freezer, and I'll eat the unfrozen part for lunches this week. Health food, yay. (sigh)

It's a good choice! I am in favor of Prince continuing to be funny on my TV.

That was the most cracked-out episode EVER.
Unrelatedly, Bruno Mars did a fantastic halftime show. I expected it to blow, but it was great. His band had kind of a Chippendale's dancers thing going on a little bit, didn't they?
