Let's start with the cook the lentils. The cooking times are very low. Then rinse several times lentils and put them in salt water the amount of water should be approximately double compared to the lentils.
step 2
Bake for about 15minutes, again taste anyway. The water will be absorbed, lentils will be made clearer, soft, flake is, will not be boiled like normal lentils.
step 3
Meanwhile in a pan fry olive oil with chopped onion, garlic, finely chopped ginger. I would add the chilli if you like spicy, curry.

The spices in contact with the hot oil will emit their perfume, but be careful to do this in very low heat and turn it off after about 30 seconds so as not to alter the characteristics of the spices.

step 6
The original recipe calls for the use of garam Marsala instead of curry but, such a mixture of spices, is not readily available.
