Wash lentils in cold water. In a pot, combine lentils, water, turmeric & garlic. Cover & simmer 30 minutes or until lentils are tender. Uncover & cook 2-3 minutes to reduce excess liquid.
Heat ghee in another pot. Add onion & fry gently for 5 minutes. Add garam masala, ginger, coriander and cayenne pepper; cook gently 1 minute. Add mixture to lentils & stir well. Garnish with cilantro.
NOTE: For a less fiery flavor, reduce cayenne pepper.
