Bring the water to a boil over high heat.

Add the lentils, reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook until the lentils are tender.

If the mixture seems dry, add more water as needed until the lentils are fully cooked.

Sauté the garlic in ghee with 1 teaspoon salt, then add it to the lentils.

Season with salt and black pepper to taste, and serve.
