Cook the lentils with the water and chicken stock powder till well cooked. I used my pressure cooker for this step.

Heat a saucepan and add the olive oil. Saute the garlic till a lovely aroma comes.

Add in the onions and saute till translucent.

Add the cumin powder and paprika powder and cook for a couple of minutes.

Add this in the cooked lentils and mix well.

Adjust the seasoning and finally add the coriander leaves. Serve warm.
