3.Stir in cumin, turmeric, mustard and ginger and cook about one minute.
4.Add chicken stock, tomato paste and lemon juice; stir to blend well. Add brussel sprouts. Cover and simmer until sprouts are done, five to seven minutes,depending on the size.
5.When lentils are cooked drain. When sprouts are cooked, stir in lentils, blend well and heat through. Serve with yogurt.
