1 cup Red lentils
1 Clove garlic
One fourth teaspoon Cumin

If you like Dal, you'll love this! It's very easy, quick and lowfat too!

Rinse lentils and bring to a boil in 3 cups water. Reduce heat and cover.
Cook for 3040 minutes until lentils are very soft, the consistency of
thick soup.

Add cumin, coriander, turmeric, salt and cayenne. Allow to simmer
uncovered while preparing garlic and mustard seeds.

In a small frypan, heat oil to med hi. Mince garlic and saute in oil with
mustard seeds until just beginning to brown. Add to dal and serve
immediately. For those of us in coastal California, this is very easy and
tastes great with frozen fatfree Indian rice at Trader Joe's.
