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.
