My husband and I had this at dinner, but we felt that the ingredients did not add up to a full flavor the way that we had anticipated.

I used bean sprouts,for sprouts. As in England, sprouts are brussel sprouts lol .The flavour was odd, as was the texture. The orange, mint and curry powder were a must, as were the lentils and onions. With finer bean sprouts than I used, it probably would have been grand ,or possibly celery instead.
