Stir in the garlic plus the garam masala, ground cumin and turmeric powder; toast for about a minute until the kitchen smells incredible.
4
Add the lentils, turning every piece through the spice base so it's fully coated, and sear lightly.

Pour in the tomato puree, bring to a gentle bubble, then cover and simmer until the lentils is tender.
6
Uncover and reduce until the sauce clings to a spoon. Finish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lemon.

Chef's tip

Let the dish rest 5 minutes off the heat before serving so the flavours settle.
