Method

  1. 01

    Add oil and/or butter to pot. Over medium heat add chopped onions, cook until golden.

  2. 02

    Add garlic and ginger (you may need to add a little more oil at this step), cook until fragrant. Add all the spices and salt, cook for about 1 minute to wake up the spices. If their are brown bits on the bottom, don’t worry about it, that’ll add flavor once you deglaze it. Add half of the stock, making sure to scrape the bottom for any browned bits to fully deglaze the pan. Add the other half of the stock, along with the canned tomatoes and lentil. Cover and cook for at least 15 minutes, or until the lentils are soft. Serve with fresh rice or warm flat bread.
