Dahl

1 cup red lentils
1 tsp mustard seed
2 Tbs ginger root (grated or tube)
2 medium onions, chopped
3-4 small serrano peppers (or jalapeno)
3-4 cloves garlic
1 Tbs cumin
1 Tbs ground coriander
4 tomatoes, chopped
1 cup water
salt and pepper
olive oil

Cook lentils according to the package directions.  (1 cup lentils, 3 cups water, 15-20 minutes)  Heat oil in a skillet, add mustard seeds and then onions, ginger, garlic, peppers and cook until tender.  (I also did carrot slices here)  Add the cumin and coriander, tomatoes and sautee until tomatoes are cooked.  Add water (may need less depending on the water from tomatoes), Cook 10 minutes to thicken, and add lentils.

(Could also add fresh cilantro at the very end)
