1. 1

   In a pot over medium-high heat, brown the onion in the butter. Add the garlic, ginger and spices. Cook for 1 minute while stirring. Add the water, lentils and sugar. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Simmer gently, stirring often, until the lentils are tender but still intact, about 14 minutes. Add more water as needed. Adjust the seasoning.
