Steps:
- Pick over and rinse the lentils and place them in a soup pot with the cold water.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until tender, about 20 minutes.
- While the lentils are cooking, heat the olive oil in a medium sized sauté pan and add the onion, 1/2 tsp salt, and a few pinches of cayenne.
- Cook over medium heat until the onions are soft, 7 - 8 minutes; then add the diced vegetables, another 1/2 tsp of salt, and the spices.
- Cook for 5 minutes, then stir in the garlic and ginger and cook for another minute.
- Add the vegetables and the tomatoes to the lentils and their broth. Cover and cook for 30 minutes.
- Season to taste with salt and cayenne.
- Garnish with the cilantro.
