This is a traditional Indian dish made with lentils, tomatoes,

onions, and spices. This one is chunkier than most. Heat olive oil

in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion and next 5

ingredients (onion through garlic); saute 2 minutes. Add cauliflower

and tomato; saute 1 minute. Stir in water and lentils; bring to a

boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 35 minutes or until lentils are

tender. Stir in lime juice, cilantro, and salt. Serve with rice.
