Directions:
- Combine the lentils, water and bay leaf and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat, cover, and simmer 30 to 40 minutes or until the lentils are tender but not mushy.
- Add salt to taste toward the end of the cooking.
- Drain off most of the liquid, but reserve it in case some is needed later.
- Heat the olive oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet and sauté the onions until tender and beginning to color.
- Add the garlic, coriander, and cumin, and continue to sauté a couple of minutes, stirring.
- Stir this mixture into the lentils and add cayenne and black pepper to taste.
- Meanwhile bring a large pot of water to the boil, add salt to taste, and cook the noodles until al dente.
- Drain and add to the lentils.
- Add the yogurt, and toss together.
- Add some of the reserved lentil cooking water if mixture seems too dry.
- Reheat gently if necessary and serve at once.
