I don’t know what kind of lentils you’re using, but green or French lentils become less mushy than red ones. (I happen to like them mushy, but if you don’t...)
My preference is a happy medium between the two. My experience vascillates between “chewing little rocks” or “i’m eating baby food” yet I like lentils, despite these problems.
My lentils are labeled in greek (ПΟΛΕМИΔΙΩТНΕ КΥПИАКХ ΦАКН), and my greek is worse than my russian (i can recognise about half of the letters and only those words which English stole and didn’t change very much) but they look red to me and definitely not green. I got them when a friend was moving home to Cyprus and didnt want to lug her pantry back with her. That must have been five years ago. She gave me several bags, and a little lentils go a long way.
