There are different types of lentils. I prefer the red ones.
First put the lentils in a pot and boil them for 15min.
Heat 2 tb spoon of oil in a pan and add lots of onions and garlic then add tomatoes, red chili, salt and spices. When all that veggies fries well, add the cooked lentils and continue to cook until it's perfect.
serve it alongside pieces of roasted chicken and viola.
