This is a great starter. You can make it with a bit more water and you get somewhat of a soup, or let it cook and eat it with a plate of rice.

• 1 ½ cups water
• 1 small tomato, chopped
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Cooking Directions

1. Combine the lentils, water, tomato, onion, cumin, salt, and vegetable oil in a pot over medium heat; bring to a boil. Cook and stir at a boil until the lentils are soft, about 30 minutes. Add the potatoes and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes more.
