In a large pot, combine the lentils with water, salt, and turmeric powder, then bring to a boil and simmer until tender.



While the lentils cook, rinse the rice and cook it in a separate pot or rice cooker until fluffy.



Heat oil in a small frying pan and add cumin seeds, chopped onion, and garlic until fragrant and golden.





Pour the tempered spice mixture into the cooked lentils, stir in black pepper, and serve hot over the steamed rice.
