Ingredients
- 2 cups of lentils, well rinsed and drained
- Olive oil
- 4 shallots, or 1/4 red onion
- 4 cloves of garlic
- 2 teaspoons garam masala
- 1/2 cup of cilantro
- Salt and pepper
Directions
- Rinse and drain the lentils.
- Mince the shallots and garlic and chop the cilantro.
- Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat and add the shallots and garlic.
- Cook, stirring, for about five minutes, until softened and golden.
- Add the garam masala and lentils. Stir so the lentils are coated with the oil and garlic, then add the cilantro and cook until wilted.
- Add 4 cups of water and turn the heat to high.
- Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a simmer.
- Cook for about 20 minutes. If they are too watery at the end, leave the lid off for a couple minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper, and mash with a fork.

Hiya! I just made this up for our lunch and it was really good. A nice quick and easy dish. I am not sure what kind of lentils you used but I used red ones and they worked great. Very tasty ... very versatile dish. THANKS!
