Rinse the lentils thoroughly.
Soak the lentils in water for about 2 hours.
Put the soaked lentils in a pot and boil until they are fully cooked.
Drain the cooked lentils.
Mash the lentils finely or blend them in a mixer.
In a pan, add the cooked lentils, a small amount of salt, and sugar. Stir over low heat until it thickens to a paste consistency.
Let the finished paste cool before use.
