Additional information:
With smaller lentil varieties, it doesn't take nearly as long to cook.
Fry onion, garlic, ginger, and spices in oil, until golden brown.
Stir in lentils, hot water, and salt.
Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat, cover pan, and simmer until lentils are tender (about 45 minutes).
Remove cover, then simmer over very low heat, stirring frequently, until lentils are thick and mushy (about 20 more minutes).
Serve over rice.
