Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups brown lentils, dry
  • 5 cups water
  • 1/4 inch fresh ginger
  • 2 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp margarine
  • 6 tbsp margarine
  • 1 1/2 cups onions, chopped
  • 15 garlic cloves
  • 1 tsp cumin

Directions:

  1. Pick over the lentils and remove foreign objects. Wash in cold water, exchanging water several times. Add the drained lentils to the 5 cups of water in a large pot over medium high heat.
  2. Slice the ginger into 3 quarter-coin sized slices and add them to the pot.
  3. Bring to a boil.
  4. Add turmeric and salt after it is boiling. Add one tsp of oil or margarine to prevent froth and boil-over. Cook, stirring occasionally for 30-45 minutes, or until the lentils are tender.
  5. Remove from heat. Remove ginger pieces and discard them.
  6. Remove approximately 1/3 of the lentils and set aside.
  7. With a hand blender, puree the remaining lentils. Return the reserved lentils to the pot. Salt to taste. Set aside until the tadka is ready.
  8. Prepare Tadka in a separate skillet (while lentils cook):
  9. Melt margarine over medium heat.
  10. Fry onions until golden and carmelized. Fry them as long as you have patience to watch over them, the longer the better - but don't burn them.
  11. Turn heat up to high, add garlic and fry for about 2-3 more minutes, or until it is golden but not burned.
  12. Add cumin and stir well.
  13. Pour the tadka over the lentils and stir well.
