How to make it

  • Saute first group of ingredients until soft and fragrant.
  • Add second group of ingredients.
  • Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until lentils are tender, about 45 minutes. Remove cover and simmer over very low heat, stirring frequently, about 30 more minutes, until lentils are mushy and thick. You may need to add up to 2 cups more water as the lentils need to be very thick and soft.
  • Just before serving add cilantro.
  • Serve over rice.

    Love,love,love lentils. So good and so good for you. This combination of spices is right up my alley. Can't wait to get to the store for some fresh ginger, the only thing missing in my fridge/cupboard. Thanks for the post.
