Misr Allecha is a spiced red lentil puree.

Soak lentils for one hour. Cook for 1/2 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.
