       Yield: 6 servings
  
   1 1/4 c  Brown lentils
   3 3/4 c  Water
       1 ts Turmeric
       1    Garlic clove, crushed
       2 tb Ghee
       1 lg Onion, chopped
       1 ts Garam Masala
     1/2 ts Ground ginger
       1 ts Coriander
     1/2 ts Cayenne pepper
            Fresh cilantro sprigs (opt)
  
   Wash lentils in cold water.
   
   In a saucepan, combine lentils, water, turmeric and
   garlic. Cover and simmer 30 minutes or until lentils
   are tender. Uncover and cook 2-3 minutes to reduce
   excess liquid.
   
   Heat ghee in a saucepan. Add onion and fry gently 5
   minutes. Add Garam Masala, ginger, coriander and
   cayenne pepper; cook gently 1 minute. Add mixture to
   lentils and stir well. Garnish with cilantro, if
   desired.
   
   NOTE: For a less fiery flavor, reduce cayenne pepper.
