For a richer flavor, consider using vegetable broth instead of water. If you don't have red lentils, brown or green lentils can be substituted, but cooking time may vary. Adjust the amount of lemon juice to your preference for desired tartness. A pinch of red pepper flakes can add a touch of heat. Serve with a dollop of plain yogurt or a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for added freshness.
