Lentil Soup
Ingredients
2 cups Black Lentils (kali masoor)
1 large Tomato chopped
1 medium Onion chopped
2 medium Carrots grated
1/2 cup mixed vegatables (Yellow Squash, Zucchini) chopped fine
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 teaspoon Jeera powder
2 teaspoons Olive Oil
Chopped Coriander for garnish
Water
Method
- Saute the onions in olive oil. When they begin to brown add the chopped tomatoes.
- Add the lentils and all vegetables with enough water.
- Cover and cook to achieve a liquid consistency keeping it on medium/low
heat.
Do stir it once or twice.
- Season it and before serving add the jeera powder and stir well.
Serve hot garnished with coriander accompanied by garlic toast or
breadsticks.
For the not so calorie conscious you could add a dollop of sour cream in
individual serving bowls.
PS: Once we served this with Potato tikkis and it was a complete meal.
