In a large saucepan over low heat, combine lentils, onions, curry powder,

for about 10 seconds. Add garlic and ginger; saute until the garlic is
lightly browned, about 1 minute. Stir in cayenne and immediately add the
oil-spice mixture to the cauliflower mixture. Stir in lemon juice,
cilantro, and sugar. Taste and adjust seasonings with additional salt and
cayenne.

Serve over rice.
