Red lentils with broccoli and celery

Heat ghee or olive oil (1 tbsp) in a pot over medium heat.

Once the oil is hot, add the spices:

• allspice berries (2-3 pcs);
• black cumin (a pinch);
• cinnamon (a pinch);
• curry (1-2 pinches);
• salt to taste.

Sauté them for one minute to release the aromas.

Then add finely chopped onion (1/2 pc) and minced garlic (1 clove). Sauté until the onion becomes transparent.

After that, add thoroughly rinsed red lentils (50 g) and mix.

Next, pour in water so that it completely covers the lentils. Gently place the broccoli florets (1 pc) and chopped celery stalk (1/2 pc) on top.

Simmer all the ingredients over medium heat until fully cooked, which will take about 10-15 minutes if the lentils were pre-soaked.

At the end of cooking, before serving, sprinkle the dish with fresh herbs.
