{Mmmm, yummy lentils!}
Ingredients:
• 250g red lentils
• 1½ tbsp oil
• 1 onion
• 2 cloves crushed garlic
• 1 tsp grated ginger
• 1 tsp tumeric
• 3 cups hot water
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp garam masala
Recipe:
Wash lentils and drain.
Heat oil, fry onion, garlic and ginger until onion is golden brown. Add tumeric and stir.
Add drained lentils and fry for a minute or two, add hot water, bring to the boil, reduce heat and simmer.
Cover and cook for 15-20min until lentils are half cooked.
Add salt, garam masala, mix well and continue cooking until lentils are soft and have the consistency of porridge. If there is too much liquid, leave the lid off the pan to speed up evaporation.
Serve plain or garnished with fried, sliced onions.
Eat with rice, Indian breads, or by itself.
