1 teaspoon crushed cumin seeds
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup chopped cilantro or parsley

covered, until very soft, 30 to 40 minutes. Drain well.
Saute onion, tumeric, cumin seeds, and crushed red pepper in
oil in large skillet until onions are tender, 5 to 8 minutes.
Reserve 1/4 cup onion mixture.
Stir lentils into skillet; cook over low heat; stirring
frequently to prevent burning, until mixture is thickened,
10 to 20 minutes. Stir in cilantro; season to taste with salt.
Makes 8, 1/2 cup servings.
