Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup red lentils
1 slice ginger, 1 inch piece, peeled
¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
4 teaspoons vegetable oil
4 teaspoons dried minced onion
1 teaspoon cumin seeds

Steps:

  • Rinse lentils thoroughly and place in a medium saucepan along with ginger, turmeric, salt and cayenne pepper. Cover with about 1 inch of water and bring to a boil. Skim off any foam that forms on top of the lentils. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until beans are tender and soupy.
