Dear Moulmein Kitchen,
By seeing the picture of potato & lentils salad, I would like to comment you that's not lentils. It's called "Chickpea". Lentil is small & lightly red color.

Dear Nay Mya Mya Swe,

Thank you for correcting my mistake.
I was unsure of the name as it is smaller than the type of chickpea which i have usually seen.
It could be a smaller type of chickpea. Why didn't i think of it??...hmmmm!
Moreover, I failed to make an effort to find out the correct name :(
I will correct it.
Thanks a lot :)
