1 1\/2 cups lentils<\/p>\n
4 cups water<\/p>\n
2 whole dried chilies<\/p>\n
1\/4 tsp turmeric<\/p>\n
1\/2 tsp salt<\/p>\n
1\/2 tsp cumin seeds<\/p>\n
1 cup chopped onions<\/p>\n
1 tsp ginger<\/p>\n
1 T lemon juice<\/p>\n
1 tsp garam masala<\/p>\n
Rinse lentils well. Put in a pot with the water, chilies, turmeric, and salt. Bring to a boil and then simmer for 30-60 minutes. *If using split lentils you will need less water and a shorter amount of simmer time to cook.<\/p>\n
Heat 2 T of oil and saute the cumin seeds, onions, and ginger and cook until tender.<\/p>\n
Remove the chilies from the lentils and stir the onion mixture and remaining ingredients into the lentils.<\/p>\n
You can add tomatoes or spinach if desired.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
