Directions
Wash lentils in cold water.
In a saucepan, combine lentils, water, turmeric and garlic.
Cover and simmer 30 minutes or until lentils are tender.
Uncover and cook 2 to 3 minutes to reduce excess liquid.
Heat ghee in a saucepan.
Add onion and fry gently 5 minutes.
Add Garam Masala, ginger, coriander and cayenne pepper; cook gently 1 minute.
Add mixture to lentils and stir well.
Garnish with cilantro, if desired.
NOTE: For a less fiery flavor, reduce cayenne pepper.
