Drain and rinse with cold water to halt the cooking process. Shake out all excess water and then put the lentils into a large bowl.

Pour the oil in a skillet and when hot, add the ginger and garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the garam masala, cumin, mustard, cardamom and coriander seeds and cook for 1 minute.
