Time 1h15m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2/3 cup dry lentils, rinsed
1 tablespoon oil
3 -4 teaspoons of unsalted canned tomatoes, pureed
1/2 onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon coriander
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups water, more if needed
1 chopped green chili pepper, optional but highly recommended
1 pinch black pepper (optional)
1/2 bell pepper, cubed (optional)

Steps:

  • Rise and pick through lentils thoroughly and set aside.
  • Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat and add onion, garlic, chili, and bell pepper. Cook until the onion is clear and slightly brown.
  • Add lentils and cook for a minute until slightly brown, being careful not to burn. Add tomato, cumin, coriander, turmeric, salt, and black pepper. Quickly add water and maintain medium heat.
  • Cover saucepan and let boil. Lentils should absorb water and become soft in about 1 hour. Add more water if needed. Lentils are cooked through when they are completely soft.
  • Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with bread or a dollop of unsweetened yogurt.
