Wash the lentils in 4 to 5 changes of water or until the water runs clear. Drain.
In a medium pot, add the lentils, water and the salt. Partially cover the pot with a lid and simmer on medium-high for 10 to 15 minutes, until the lentils are thoroughly cooked.
In a separate pot, melt the ghee on medium-high. Add the onions and fry until softened, approximately 3 to 4 minutes. Add ARVINDA’S CURRY MASALA, mix and cook on medium heat for a couple of minutes. Add the cooked lentils, stir and simmer until the lentils thicken. Add salt to taste.
To serve, garnish with cilantro and a sprinkle of ARVINDA’S GARAM MASALA. Serve hot with chapatis and rice.
