Wash the red lentils and add them to a pot.

Add canola oil, chopped onion, black pepper, and water to the pot.

Turn on the stove and mix the ingredients.

Cook covered on high heat until it comes to a boil, then reduce heat to prevent burning.

Stir the lentils occasionally to prevent them from settling at the bottom and burning.

If the mixture is too thick, add a little water.

Add a teaspoon of cumin powder and a tablespoon of garlic paste, along with one and a half tablespoons of vegetable stock powder; mix to combine.

Cook covered for about 10 minutes.

Blend the lentils in the pot on a low-speed setting, tilting the pot to avoid touching the bottom.

If necessary, blend in a separate container and return to the pot.

Adjust the thickness by adding water according to preference; more water for soup consistency.

Taste and add salt if required, mixing it in and allowing it to cook through.

Serve hot, optionally drizzling oil on top.
