Curried Lentils

INGREDIENTS

1 1/2 cup dried lentils*
1 medium red onion
2 tbsp vegetable oil
2 tbsp Curry Paste**
3-4 cups of water***
Salt to taste

DIRECTIONS

1. Soak lentils overnight. Rinse and drain.
2. Slice onion. Saute onions at medium to high heat in oil in a skillet till onions are soft and translucent.
3. Add the lentils and curry paste. Saute for about 1 minute, add water. Lower heat when the water starts to boil.
4 . Cook till lentils are tender, adding water as needed. Check for salt before serving.

* - You can use canned lentils, but the consistency will differ.
** - I use Patak's Mild curry paste, available at most supermarkets.
*** - The amount of water depends on the consistency desired.
