Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Boil lentils in salted water until completely soft, about 12 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium. Sauté onion until golden, about 4 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Stir in ginger, garam masala, and turmeric until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add cooked lentils and mix well.
