ginger a few minutes over medium heat until onion is golden brown. Add
tumeric and mix to combine well. Add lentils. Fry mixture about 2 minutes.
Add hot water and bring mixture to boil, then reduce heat so mixture is

simmering. Cover and cook 15 to 20 minutes. Add salt and garam masala. Stir

mixture is quite thick. If there’s too much liquid, remove cover so liquid
will evaporate. Spoon into serving dish. Sprinkle with coriander.
