Then lower heat, close pan and simmer until lentils are just tender - the water should have all be absorbed. Remove lentils from pan and set aside; add the oil to the pan, increase heat to medium and add the mustard seed. When they start to pop, add the rest of the onion and the chiles. Saute until light brown, add ginger and garlic and cook for a further five minutes. Add tomato cook until tomato is tender and has a sauce like consistency.
