Steps:
- In a medium-large saucepan, heat a glug of olive oil and sautee onion until soft.
- Add the garlic, ginger, cumin seeds and fenugreek seeds. Mix for another minute or so until the fragrances start to release.
- Add the tomatoes a small pat of the butter (holding the rest back to mix in at the end) and simmer for around 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they break down and start to reduce.
- Add the chili powder, turmeric and garam masala and stir through. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the kidney beans, green lentils and 2.5 cups of boiling water.
- Simmer for 30 minutes until the lentils are soft. (That's just a minimum - you can leave it simmering longer if you like.)
- Remove from the heat. Stir in the cream and butter until melted in.
- Let set for about 5 minutes before serving.
- Scatter with coriander (cilantro) leaves after dishing it up.

FRENCH LENTILS WITH GARLIC AND THYME
This is a classic French way to cook lentils, and it's very easy. Aromatics are sautéed and then simmered with French lentils, also known as Le Puy lentils, for 20 to 25 minutes. It is an easy side dish (shown here with cod baked with prosciutto), redolent of a Provencal feast.

Steps:
- Place a large saucepan over medium heat and add oil. When hot, add chopped vegetables and sauté until softened, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Add 6 cups water, lentils, thyme, bay leaves and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a fast simmer.
- Simmer lentils until they are tender and have absorbed most of the water, 20 to 25 minutes. If necessary, drain any excess water after lentils have cooked. Serve immediately, or allow them to cool and reheat later.
