Finely dice the onions into very small cubes.
2

Place the lentils and 2 cups of water (about 475 ml) in a pot and cook over heat until the lentils are tender.
3

Fry the onions in the oil until they turn a very dark brown.
4

Add 1 cup of water (about 235 ml) to the fried onions, then blend them for a few minutes until you get a sauce-like mixture.
5

Add the onion sauce and salt to the lentils. Cook over medium heat until the lentils are fully cooked.
6

When most of the water has evaporated from the lentils, add the bulgur and stir. Let it cook until all the water is absorbed and the dish is ready.
