In a pot

  • 1.5 cups lentils

  • Enough water to submerge plus a little bit.

Get up to boil, then reduce heat and simmer. Stir occasionally.

In a pan lightly fry until aromatic:

  • 0.5 inch finely chopped ginger
  • 3 finely chopped garlic
  • 3 tablespoons of ghee
  • Cumin seed
  • Mustard seed

Optionally:

When lentils are soft but not mush turn off the heat and dump the ginger garlic ghee into the lentils and stir.

Taste, add salted if needed.
