Ingredients

• 1 cup split lentils
• 3 cups water
• 2 tablespoons oil
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• Salt, to taste
• 1/2 red onion, diced
• 1/2 tomato, diced
• 2 teaspoons ginger garlic paste
• 1/4 cup cooked rice

Directions

1. Wash the lentils in a sieve under running water. Transfer to a bowl, cover with water, and leave to soak for 30 minutes.
2. In a large pot, bring the water and oil to a boil. Add in the soaked lentils and all of the spices. Turn the heat down to medium and let simmer for 10 minutes.
3. While the lentils cook, saute onion, tomato, and ginger garlic paste in a separate pan. Add this mixture along with the cooked rice to the soup.
4. Simmer for another 5 minutes, stirring constantly. If the soup becomes too thick, add in half a cup of water at a time, stirring constantly, until the soup thins out.
5. Serve garnished with fresh cilantro.
