Ingredients
- 1 1/4 brown lentils
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 onion
- 3 3/4 c water
- 2 tb ghee
- 1 ts turmeric
- 1 ts garam masala
- 1 ts coriander
- 1/2 ts ginger (ground)
- 1/2 ts cayenne pepper
Fresh cilantro sprigs (opt) Wash lentils in cold water. In a saucepan, combine lentils, water, turmeric and garlic. Cover and simmer 30 minutes or until lentils are tender. Uncover and cook 2-3 minutes to reduce excess liquid. Heat ghee in a saucepan. Add onion and fry gently 5 minutes. Add Garam Masala, ginger, coriander and cayenne pepper; cook gently 1 minute. Add mixture to lentils and stir well. Garnish with cilantro, if desired. NOTE: For a less fiery flavor, reduce cayenne pepper.
