INDIAN LENTIL SOUP (DAL SHORVA)
An inexpensive, easy-to-make and delicious soup. This slightly modified recipe stems from Mumtaz Khan at Mumtaz Paan House in Bradford, England. Mung beans is the exquisite choice, but red or yellow lentils also make a delicious result (green lentils are not recommended). The chicken stock can be replaced with vegetable stock for a vegetarian variety. This recipe can also be made with less liquid and served as a stew.¨ Improvement, a little off tradition, but works even better: 1) Fry the lentils/beans for a few seconds in ghee before adding the spices and liquid. 2) Add just a little tomato purée (1 tsp) to the soup. 3) Add one diced potato together with the lentils/beans.

Steps:
- Rinse the beans or lentils.
- Bring to a boil with the stock, turmeric, Cayenne, cumin, cardamom and curry/bay leaves.
- Let simmer until the beans or lentils are very soft (ca 30 minutes).
- If using bay leaves, remove them now. Curry leaves can be left in the soup.
- Run the soup quickly in a blender to a not too smooth consistency (or mash the lentils/beans with a ladle).
- Sautee the garlic and mustard seeds lightly in the fat and add to the soup.
- Let simmer for another 5 minutes.
- Add salt, pepper and squeezed lemon to taste.
- Serve hot with pita or paratha bread.
Tips:
- Use ripe tomatoes: The riper the tomatoes, the sweeter and more flavorful the soup will be.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: If you add too many lentils to the pot, they won't cook evenly. Cook the lentils in batches if necessary.
- Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of yogurt for a tangy flavor.
- Serve the soup hot: Ladle the soup into bowls and serve immediately. You can garnish the soup with cilantro, chopped tomatoes, or a dollop of yogurt.
Conclusion:
This Indian spiced tomato lentil soup is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a cold day. The soup is packed with flavor and is a great source of protein and fiber. It can be served with rice, bread, or naan. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this soup a try.
