- Rinse and soak the lentils for about an hour. Drain and set aside.

Cooking Tips:
- Soaking the lentils not only cuts down cooking time but also aids in digestion. Ensure they are thoroughly drained before cooking.
- Feel free to experiment with spices if you have favorites or substitutions on hand.
- Adjust the level of spiciness in the sauce by modifying the amount of jalapeño.
