I find red lentils at Asian markets
The Ingredients: (serves 2...double the ingredients for 4)
1/2 cup red lentils
1/4 of an onion chopped
1 Tbsp oil
1/4 tsp cumin seeds
1/4 tsp tamarind
1/4 tsp salt
1/8-1/4 tsp of chili powder (depends on you spice tolerance!)
pinch of pepper
Rinse lentils and drain lentils a few times and then add 1.cup of water. Add all the spices, mix, and heat till boiling, then cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
Brown onions in oil and then add to the lentils, mix then cover and let it continue to simmer.
I buy naan from Trader Joe's (you can find it in the frozen section), but you can also use pita bread or tortillas to eat with. Great as a main dish or as a side!
