Step 1
Heat oil in a large pot over medium. Add onion and cook, stirring, until soft, about 4 minutes.
Step 2
Add garlic, cumin, cinnamon, and ginger. Stir until fragrant, about 60 seconds.
Step 3
Pour in tomatoes with their juice, chickpeas, lentils, and 4 cups water. Bring to a boil.
Step 4
Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until lentils are tender, about 12 minutes.
Step 5
Season generously with salt and pepper. Taste and adjust spices if needed.
Step 6
Serve hot. A squeeze of fresh lemon lifts the warm spices beautifully.
