Step by Step guide

Step 1

First, boil the lentils until cooked. The cooking instructions are usually written on the package.

Step 2

Next, finely chop the onion and garlic, and grate the ginger. Sauté the onion in a small amount of vegetable oil, then add the garlic and ginger.

Step 3

After that, add pieces of chicken, about the size of a walnut, to the skillet with the onion, garlic, and ginger, and sauté for 15–20 minutes (the first 3–5 minutes on high heat, then on medium).

Step 4

Then add the juice of half a lemon, salt, and your favorite spices (French herbs work well, for example) to the chicken. Pour in 100 ml of water and simmer covered for another 5 minutes.

Step 5

At the end of cooking, add the cooked lentils, chopped tomatoes, and finely chopped parsley. Mix everything, simmer for the final five minutes, and it's ready to serve.
