Das war wirklich mega lecker! Ich hab zwar das Wasser vergessen (steht auch nirgends, aber vermutlich hätte ich es mit der Kokosmilch und den Tomaten zu den Linsen geben sollen) und zum Schluss mit einem großen Schluck Hafersahne das Ganze nochmal verfeinert, da es doch recht trocken war dank des fehlenden Wassers, aber das Ergebnis war geschmacklich wirklich top!
