Ingredients
- 300 g lentils brown
- 50 ml oil
- 1 tsp cumin seeds jeera
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 onion
- 2 tomatoes
- 2 green chillies
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp chilli powder
- 1 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 handful Coriander
- 1 litre water
Instructions
- In a large pan or pot, pour in the oil and heat it over medium heat until it shimmers.
- Add the jeera (cumin seeds) and minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
- Add finely chopped onions to the pan. Stir well to coat them in the oil and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the onions turn translucent and start to brown slightly around the edges.
- Stir in chopped tomatoes. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes soften and begin to break down into a sauce.
- Add in your spices and add green chillies. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly, to ensure the spices are well combined and the raw smell of the spices cooks off.
- Add a splash of water to prevent the spices from burning.
- Add the rinsed and drained brown lentils to the pan. Stir them into the mixture and cook for 3-4 minutes on medium heat, allowing the lentils to absorb the flavors.
- Pour in the water. Stir to combine, then cover the pan with a lid. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer for 35-40 minutes, or until the lentils are tender and fully cooked. Check occasionally and stir to prevent sticking, adding more water if necessary.
- Once the lentils are cooked and the mixture has thickened to your desired consistency, remove the lid and turn off the heat. Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves before serving.
