Critical Success Points

  • Cooking the lentils (ensure to add water if level drops)
  • Sautéing the aromatics (do not burn the cumin)
  • Final simmer (maintain medium heat so the cream does not split)

Safety Warnings

  • Be careful of hot oil splatters when sautéing.
  • If using a pressure cooker, release pressure according to the manufacturer's instructions.
