I started off by boiling a half cup each of green lentils, orange lentils and moong beans in a cup of vegetable stock and a cup and a half of water for about 15 – 20 minutes or till they are tender.
I then sauteed an onion, a wedge of ginger and a couple of cloves of garlic till the onions caramelized - about 15 minutes.
I then added that along with pinto beans, parsley, iodized sea salt, pepper, basil, cumin, a couple of teaspoons of organic canned pumpkin and chilli flakes (the Sri Lankan in me needs a lil heat-in the form of these chili flakes in my food that is!)
