My friend gave me this recipe and I have never once followed it precisely, but it tastes great every time.
1/2 c. lentils
3 c. water
1-2 tbsp oil
1/4 tsp mustard seeds
dash ajama seeds
2 cloves
1-2 hot peppers, slit
1 onion
1 small tomato, blended
1/4 tsp ginger
1 clove garlic
1/4 tsp cumin powder
1/4 tsp tumeric
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp crushed hot peppers
1 1/2 tsp sugar
Wash lentils then cook in the water and salt until tender and soft. You could a can of lentils instead if you want.
Heat oil, add the ingredients in the order listed, stirring as you go. You'll want to let the onions cook before you add the rest of the ingredients. Add the lentils and cook for about 7 or 10 minutes
Garnish with;
1 tbsp cilantro leaves
2 tbsp lemon juice
Serve hot with rice.
