Add the lentils and stir well to combine. Add the tomato and continue stirring for 3 minutes.

Pour in the hot water and add the crumbled chicken bouillon cube. Stir in the tomato paste, salt, and spices. Mix well, cover the pot, reduce the heat, and let it cook until the lentils and vegetables are tender.
