Bring to a simmer over high heat, then reduce heat, cover the pan and cook the lentils for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Plain boiled lentils work well as a simple side dish, but for a delicious, gourmet meal, follow step 2.

Melt 2 tablespoons of ghee (Indian ghee) in a skillet, lightly fry the vegetables in it. While stirring, generously sprinkle the curry over the vegetables. Add lentils to the pan, pour over everything with a small amount of the broth left after cooking the cereal. Mix the ingredients thoroughly, season with salt and pepper to taste. Reduce heat on the stove and simmer for about 10 minutes.
