- Fry the onions, crushed garlic cloves and chilis over moderate heat until onions are cooked through and slightly brown.
- Add canned tomatoes and stir well.
- Add remaining spices and 100ml (or enough to make it a 'sauce consistency'), season to taste, leave to simer for 15-20 minutes.
- Add lentil mixture to sauce, or vice versa, stir, season with pepper or whatever.
- Sprinkle with coriander just before serving and eat up with raita and naan.
