Was in those days one of the king's son Nehochu. Still he had one answer: "I don't I will." No noble could not cook to please him. Issued the king's decree: "Who can prepare a dish and to please the Prince, he will receive a bag of gold and will become a court cook, who is not the head from the shoulders". At this time the streets of the city wandering youth in search of work and wealth, he heard the decree and thought: "was - was not, maybe you are lucky..." Then the young man went straight to the Palace. In the Palace he was escorted immediately to the kitchen where he was cooking a Stew of lentils with spices. He took red lentils, washed, drained the water.

Cleaned potatoes and cut in small pieces.

Cleaned the carrots and also cut in small pieces.

Took an onion, a clove of garlic all shredded.

Warmed up the pan with oil, add carrots, potatoes, onions, garlic - mixed and began to fry on high heat for five minutes. Added coriander, cumin and cinnamon. Fast movements all mixed, I added the lentils and broth, mixed again. Brought to a boil, cover. Reduce the heat to low and leave to simmer on a slow fire until tender about 20 minutes. And while the young man was cooking, the Palace was a delicious spicy flavor. Smelling the kitchen aroma, the king's son asked first: "what smells so good?" "This young man is preparing a lentil stew." "Wear rather, I WANT to eat!!!" The joy of the king was overwhelming, now it was called Hocheu!!! And the young man got the bag of gold and became the creative cook!
