How to Cook
Sauté the Base
Heat your favorite oil, butter, or ghee in a deep pot. Sauté a chopped medium/large tomato until soft and mushy. Canned tomato will work too!
Add the Lentil Mix
Pour contents of the jar into the tomato base. Sauté on low to medium heat for 2–3 minutes to gently roast the spices and unlock their aroma. If cooking half pack, simply reduce amount of water in half.
Add Water & Cook
See chart below for water. Start with the lower end of the suggested water amount and add more if needed. Cover and cook (medium-high heat works well) until the lentils are soft & well-blended.
