Heat water in pot until boiling.
Add lentils and boil for one minute.
Reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer lentils until they resemble a thick paste.
While lentils are simmering, heat oil in frying pan.
Add onion, garlic and ginger. Fry until soft.
Add curry, chili, cumin, coriander, salt and pepper, saute for 2-3 minutes.
Add tomatoes and saute for another 3-5 minutes. Add fried spice mixture into lentil paste, stir and cook an additional 15-20 minutes.
Serve as is or over basmati rice.
Vegetable stock can be added to boiling water for additional taste.
