    3. Add lentils, tomatoes and 4 cups of water; stir to make sure nothing is stuck to the bottom. Bring to boil; simmer, uncovered, until potatoes are cooked through, about 15 minutes. Stir in Yondu.

    Serve over steamed rice.
    Garnish with cilantro, chilis or toasted coconut.
    Use olive oil instead of ghee for a lighter flavor.
