Add the lentils to a pot filled with 4 cups of water, then add a potato chopped in 4 pieces and little bit of salt. Boil this mix on a strong fire for a while.

Make some small holes by a fork on the dried lemon and add it to the pot. Then lower the fire and let the mix cook very well for around half an hour.

In the meantime, chop the onion into small pieces and fry it with little bit of oil. Then add the garlic cloves and the chopped chili pepper and fry them together. Then add your spices as you like.

When our potato and lentils are very well cooked, remove the potato pieces and smash them little bit and add them to our onion mix to be fried little bit and mixed with all the spices. Add your tomato paste here.

Then add this mixture to the lentil and mix them together to unify the color and the taste. Let them boil together for another 20 minutes and then it’s ready to be served.
