Cumin lentils

Clean and wash lentils and set aside

In a pot over medium high heat heat vegetable oil, add garlic paste and onions and cook until golden brown

Add tomato paste to the garlic-onion and cook for about a minute.

Add the lentils and tomatoes to the pot and stir to combine

Pour enough water to the pot to about an inch over the lentils

Bring the water to a boil then reduce temperature to medium, add the cumin powder and cover the pot to allow the lentils to cook

Every now and then use a fork to stir the lentils. Once the lentils have cooked, turn heat off.

Add in the cilantro and stir to mix.

Allow to cool before serving with a mint sour cream/yoghurt sauce
