Best Dal EVER

Thanks to Sherrie Cheema, my dear friend's mom for blowing my mind with this one! I've never been a huge dal fan, but this is thick and rich, flavorful but not spicy and really filling!

Protein: lentils

Carmelize 1 chopped onion
Add to a pot of cooking lentils (3 cups lentils with 6 cups water)
1 boullion cube
6 cloves chopped garlic
2 inches chopped fresh ginger
1/4 tsp. salt (preferably Hawaiian sea salt, though I just used regular old salt)
2 tsp. cinnamon

Awesome served with rice, barley, or quinoa (best with red quinoa)
AND a salad of cucumbers in rice vinegar, sugar, and salt
The flavors all combine deliciously!
