Tarifi denedim, gerçekten çok lezzetli oldu! Kırmızı mercimek hiç bu kadar güzel kullanılmamıştı. 👌

Kırmızı mercimek yerine yeşil mercimek kullansak olur mu? O şekilde de güzel olur diye düşünüyorum.

Tarifin pratikliği süper ama biraz fazla tuzlu oldu bana göre, tuz miktarını azaltarak tekrar deneyeceğim.
