Misr Allecha is a spiced red lentil puree.

Soak lentils for one hour. Cook for ½ hour. Drain. Mash and set aside.

In dry pan over moderate low heat, stir fry the onion and garlic for 2 minutes. Add the oil and stir fry for 1 minute more.

Add the mashed lentils, tumeric, salt and chili. Mix well. Add the water and cook for 3-4 mins longer to reduce the mixture to a thick, red, well spiced puree.

Serve warm with Injeera.
