2. Swirl in the garlic, chilli and ginger. Cook till just softened. Top up with oil as and when needed.
3. Add the lentils and spices. Toast for a minute, folding everything together.
4. Add a pinch of salt and the water. Let it sizzle up. Pop a lid on. Turn the heat down. Simmer for 10mins, or until the water is absorbed. Keep an eye on it and top up if needed.
5. Once the lentils are tender, gloss with oil, fold in your green leaves or tomatoes till softened and warmed through. Taste. Adjust seasoning as needed. Finish with lemon or lime juice and zest.
