Directions:
- In a 4-quart heavy-bottomed pot combine the lentils, 6 cups water, cinnamon stick, bay leaf, garlic cloves, giner slices and turmeric. Bring to a boil. Cover, lower heat and simmer gently 40-45 minutes, until the lentils are tender.
- Add the lemon, salt, black pepper and cayenne. Stir and cook for another 5 minutes.
- Just before serving heat 1 tablespoonful of canola oil in a small skillet over high heat. When it is very hot put in the asafetida and the cumin seeds and fry them until the asafetida expands and the cumin seeds darken. Pour the contents of the skillet into the pot and stir. (If you use no oil, leave out the asafetida).
