Ingredients:
 200 gm(s) red lentils
 1 ltr(s) water
 4cm piece fresh ginger, cut into 3 slices
 0.5 tsp(s) ground turmeric
 0.5 tsp(s) salt
 3 tbsp(s) ghee or oil
 2 cloves garlic, crushed
 1 medium onion, finely chopped
 1 pinch(s) asafoetida (optional)
 1 tsp(s) cumin seeds
 1 tsp(s) ground coriander
 0.25 tsp(s) chilli powder
 1 tbsp(s) chopped fresh coriander leaves
Vegetarian Indian dish from the Essential Asian Cookbook
Cooking Steps:
Place the lentils and water in a medium pan and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low, add the ginger and turmeric, and simmer, covered, for 1 hour or until the lentils are tender. Stir every 5 minutes or so during the last 30 minutes of cooking to prevent the lentils sticking to the pan. Remove the ginger and stir in the salt.

Heat the ghee in a frying pan; add the garlic and onion, and cook over a medium heat for 3 minutes or until the onion is golden. Add the asafoetida, if using, cumin seeds, coriander and chilli powder, and cook for 2 minutes.

Add the onion mixture to the lentils and stir to combine. Serve sprinkled with fresh coriander.
