Heat oil in a stockpot over medium heat. Add shallot, and cook until it's soft and golden, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, and cook until it's fragrant and tender, about 2 minutes. Add spices and salt, stirring well, and cook 1 minute. Add stock, water, and lentils.

Increase heat to high, and bring to a boil. Lower heat to medium-low, and simmer until lentils are soft and falling apart, about 30 to 40 minutes. Taste, and add more salt if needed.

In a small bowl, whisk together yogurt, harissa, lemon juice, and water. Add more water if needed to reach a drizzle-able consistency. To serve, ladle soup into serving bowls and drizzle with yogurt.
