Critical Success Points

  • Sauté vegetables without letting garlic brown.
  • Add paprika quickly to avoid bitterness.
  • Simmer on low heat to keep lentils from splitting.
  • Season with salt at the end for optimal texture.

Safety Warnings

  • Hot oil can splatter – keep a safe distance and use a splatter guard if needed.
  • Do not let garlic burn; it turns bitter and can produce acrid fumes.
  • Use oven mitts when handling the hot pan lid.
