1
Sautee onions and garlic in olive oil until tender over medium high heat. Add tomatoes with juice and reduce. Lower heat and add masala and cayenne. Stir for a few minutes to release the spices aromas and temper the bitterness. Add water and lentils and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until just tender (20-40 minutes). Remove cover, add salt and bulgur and simmer until thick (at least 10 minutes). Add more water if needed with the bulgur.

Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning. Serve as is or on buns, or taco style on flatbread with chopped red onion, cilantro and lime.

PS, I'm a born and raised West Texan--not a vegetarian or a vegan. I eat this way now for health reasons and just happen to love Indian food. Discovered bulgur recently and have been experimenting with this mixture. I can honestly say I prefer it over ground beef! Enjoy..
