Ingredients

1 lb Red lentils
2 tblsp Olive oil
1 Onion, coarsely chopped
3 cloves Garlic, chopped
1 tblsp Fresh ginger, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon Curry powder
1/2 teaspoon Ground cumin
4 cups Water
1 Bouillon cube (chicken, beef or veggie, it doesn't matter)
3-4 tblsp Chopped fresh cilantro
Black pepper and/or cayenne pepper to taste

Preparation

1) Heat oil, then saute onions and garlic in oil on medium high heat for ~5 minutes.

2) Add ginger, curry powder, cumin and saute another 2 minutes.

3) Add remaining ingredients and lentils. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for ~20 minutes. (Add a bit more water if lentil mixture seems like it's getting too dry.)
