In terms of improving strength and adding muscle are protein and amino acids from lentils as good as those from chicken, fish or beef?

Just tried this recipe and it was a great Dahl. Definitely quite differernt from the Dahl I usually make. To this recipe I added two 95g tins of tuna in saltwater. Next time though I think I might decrease the amount of tomato in it and add some curry powder....but for anyone trying out this recipe as it is, it's definitely great the way it is too!
Thanks,
J
