1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan, and fry the chopped onion for a few minutes over a medium heat, until golden.
2. Add the cumin seeds, and fry for a few more minutes. Don't overdo it, or the onions will burn.
3. Add the lentils and the vegetable stock, then bring to the boil, reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. If it's too thick, just add some water.
