Soak the lentils in water for half an hour, then drain them.

Preparation of vegetables: Finely chop the onion, tomato, garlic, and ginger.

In a pot, heat the vegetable oil, then add the onion with a pinch of salt and let it sauté until it wilts and turns a dark color. Then add the ginger and garlic.

Add the dried coriander, turmeric, and fenugreek leaves, along with chili peppers if desired, and mix well.

Add the chopped tomato and cook over medium heat until it softens.

Add the lentils to the mixture with boiling water, ensuring there's enough liquid. Let it simmer for half an hour or until the lentils are cooked.

After the lentils are cooked, add a quarter bunch of chopped coriander and let it simmer for another fifteen minutes to boil.

In a skillet, add the butter, then the minced garlic, cumin, and paprika, and stir it all together.

Add the sautéed mixture to the lentils and serve the dish with bread or rice, garnished with fresh coriander.
