Sauté the onion
5 minHeat the cooking oil in a saucepan and sauté the finely chopped onion until lightly golden.
A simple, hearty home-style dish of yellow lentils cooked with onion and turmeric until smooth. Serve it with rice pilaf or bread for a light dinner.
Heat the cooking oil in a saucepan and sauté the finely chopped onion until lightly golden.
Add the turmeric to the onion and sauté briefly to bring out its aroma.
Add the rinsed yellow lentils to the saucepan. Pour in the hot water, add the salt, and cover. Simmer over low heat until the lentils are soft and falling apart.
Yellow lentils soften more quickly than other lentils, so keep an eye on the cooking time; cooking them too long can make the dish watery. No common allergens are listed.
