When cooking lentils, use about 3 cups of water for every 1 cup of lentils.
For 2 cups of lentils, you typically need about 6 cups of water when cooking them. This ratio can vary slightly depending on the type of lentils and your desired consistency, but a general guideline is to use three parts water to one part lentils. If you want a thicker consistency, you can use slightly less water. Always check for doneness and adjust the water as needed while cooking.
