Ingredients

    1/2 cup red lentils
    2 cups vegetable broth
    1 tsp turmeric
    1 tsp cumin
    10 cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
    1small can Hunt's No Salt Added tomato sauce (0.875 c)
    4 whole garlic cloves, minced
    1 medium onion, diced
    1 tsp paprika
    1 tbsp ground ginger
    a dash of cayenne pepper
    2 tsp garam masala

Directions

In a medium pot, saute onions and garlic in 1/4 cup water until translucent. Add spices, except garam masala, and cook for 2 minutes, adding more water if necessary to prevent sticking, burning or drying out. Add lentils, broth, tomato sauce, and tomatoes. Cover and turn heat to high. Once boiling, reduce to low and simmer for 15 minutes, or until lentils are cooked (they will expand and turn orange). Add garam masala and stir to combine. Cover and set aside for 3-5 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste and serve.
