Cooking instruction summary:

Mix the lentils and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes. Drain thoroughly - this is important because the lentils hold a lot of water. I let them sit in the strainer for 10 minutes.Combine the lentils, chickpeas, curry paste, curry powder, cayenne and salt in a food processor. Process until mostly smooth.
