Lentil Curry

Lentil Curry

Ingredients
1 pack of brown lentils cooked in water for 20 minutes, strain water and keep one side
10-15 pieces of beef or lamb.
4 medium onions, peeled and finely chopped
4 tablespoons of oil
6-8 cloves of garlic peeled and finely chopped
3 cardamom pods
3 cinnamon sticks
Salt to taste
1 heaped teaspoon of turmeric
3 tablespoons of roasted masala
1 tablespoon of sugar
1 tablespoon of vinegar

Method
In a large pot, heat the oil, add the onions, cinnamon, salt, and cardamom ... fry until onions are golden brown. Next, add the meat and garlic and stir, add 1 cup of warm water and turn heat down to medium and allow meat to cook for 45 minutes, adding a little water to prevent burning when required. Stirring occasionally. Next, add the spices and braise for a few minutes. Next, add a cup of water and cook for 15 minutes, stirring when required. Next, add your cooked lentils and a cup of water and cook for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally otherwise lentils will stick to the bottom of the pot.
Next, switch off heat and allow lentil curry to sit for 10 minutes before serving with rice and onion salad.
