Pick over the lentils, removing ones that don't look right. (There may be small rocks--remove them too ) Wash the lentils in water, then put them in a large pot with 7½ c water and the turmeric. Place on high heat until boiling, then cover (leaving lid slightly ajar) and simmer on low for 45 minutes Stir every once in a while.

Stir in the ground cumin, ⅓ of the habaneros, and the chopped shallots. Cook for 15 minutes more. Add another ⅓ of the habaneros. Cook for another 15 minutes, add a little salt, then leave on very low heat while you begin the next stage.
