* 3 cups of Plain flour
* 1 1/4cup water
* 1/2tsp. Salt

* 2 cup Brown Lentils
* 2 tsp. Salt
* ½ cup of soaked Tamarind or you can use ¼ cup of Pomegranate molasses instead.
* 3 tablespoons Lemon juice and more if needed
* 1/4 cup Olive oil
* 6 medium Onions thinly sliced
* 3 bunches of fresh Coriander (chopped)
* 6Cloves of Crushed garlic

* On a floured surface, roll out the Dough for about ¼ cm thin and cut into long stripes then in to squares.
* To cook the Lentils, place them in a pan and cover with water and some Salt on medium heat for 20-30 minutes or till they are cooked.
* Add the Lemon juice and Tamarind or the Pomegranate molasses to the Lentils.
* Add the Dough you prepared into squares gradually in to the Lentils and keep stirring to prevent them from sticking together. Leave some for garnish. If you are using Pasta instead add it now and stir it into the Lentils, cover it till it is cooked.
* Deep fry the Dough squares you saved for garnish till they are gold and Brown. Or if you used Pasta earlier on, Fry some Flat bread instead of the Dough.
* In the same Oil Fry the Onions, add half of them to the Lentils and save the Rest for garnishing.
