Dhal / Dal Soup
Salwaa’s Dhal Soup
This hearty and protein-packed dhal soup with lemon, turmeric and garlic is totally delicious and very easy to make. Perfect comfort food to break your fast with or to have as a light lunch on an autumnal day.
Ingredients:
1 cup dhal (red or yellow lentils)
1 tsp turmeric / borrie
½ tsp cayenne pepper or chilli powder
1 tsp cumin / jeera
¼ tsp ground cardamom
2 bay leaves
1 vegetable stock cube dissolved in 4 cups warm water
50g butter
1 small onion, peeled and chopped
1 tsp mustard seeds
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
salt and pepper to taste
juice of 1 small lemon
Method:
Soak the lentil in water for 30 minutes. Rinse until the water run clear.
Add the dhal, turmeric, cayenne pepper, jeera, cardamom, vegetable stock and bay leaves in a deep pot / saucepan. Simmer over low to medium heat until the dhal is soft and mushy.
Meanwhile melt the butter in a pan, then add the mustard seeds, garlic and onions. Sauté until the onions are transparent. Add the onion mixture to the dhal, cook a further 5 minutes adding more water if a thinner soup is required. Season with salt and pepper.
Squeeze the lemon juice over the soup. Stir through. Remove the bay leaves before serving with your favourite bread or savouries.
