Ingredients
- 1 lb. dried lentils, rinsed and picked over
- 1 onion, roughly chopped
- fresh ginger, 2-inch piece, peeled and minced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp. curry powder (hot or mild, your preference)
- 2 tsp. ground cumin
- 2 dried red chilies (or hot red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper, to taste)
- 3-4 tomatoes, cored and roughly chopped (optional) Salt Black pepper
Preparation
Step 1
Add the first 8 ingredients to a large pot, along with water to cover.
Bring to a boil over high heat; adjust heat so the mixture simmers steadily but not violently.
Cook, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are soft, about 1 hour.
Season to taste with salt and pepper; serve or cover and refrigerate for up to several days before reheating.
