Ingredients:

210g lentils
3cm fresh ginger, sliced
1 cinnamon stick
40g butter
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 tsp turmeric
2.50 gm cumin
1/2 tsp garam marsala
1/2 tsp chilli flakes
42.00 gm lemon juice
1/2-2.40 gm salt
20.00 ml chopped coriander leaves
Naan bread or pappadums, to serve

Instructions:

In a large saucepan, combine lentils, ginger, bay leaves, cinnamon, and 3 cups of cold water. Bring to a boil, then simmer over medium heat for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Remove and discard the spices before setting aside.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add onion and sauté for 3 minutes. Incorporate garlic, turmeric, cumin, garam marsala, and chili flakes, stirring for an additional minute until fragrant. Finish by adding lemon juice and seasoning with salt to taste.
Combine the lentils in the pan, stir well, and sauté for an additional 3 minutes, stirring continuously. Take off the heat, mix in coriander, and enjoy hot with naan bread or pappadums.
