cayenne pepper.
Ingredients
- 1 cup red lentils
- 1 slice ginger, 1 inch piece, peeled
- ¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
- 4 teaspoons vegetable oil
- 4 teaspoons dried minced onion

Instructions
Step
1. Rinse lentils thoroughly and place in a medium saucepan along with ginger, turmeric, salt, and
cayenne pepper. Cover with about 1 inch of water and bring to a boil. Skim off any foam that
forms on top of the lentils. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until beans are tender
and soupy.
2. Meanwhile, in a microwave-safe dish combine oil, dried onion, and cumin seeds. Microwave on
high for 45 seconds to 1 minute; be sure to brown, but not burn, onions. Stir into the lentil
mixture.
