Cheap, fast, and better on day two. Red lentils collapse into a soft, spoonable stew without any help.

Method

Rinse the lentils until the water runs clear.
Fry the onion in the oil until golden, then add the garlic, ginger, and spices for a minute.
Add the lentils, tomatoes, and 4 cups of water. Simmer until the lentils have collapsed, 20-25 minutes.
Swirl in the butter and season generously with salt.
Serve with rice or bread and a dollop of yogurt.
