While the dal is an essential part of Indian cuisine, this soup gives a refreshing spin to the classic dish, delivering a burst of nourishment that will satisfy everyone, from kids to adults.
Ingredients Moong Dal – 1/4 cup Arhar Dal – 1/4 cup Urad Dal – 1/4 cup Masoor Dal – 1/4 cup (optional) Carrots, finely chopped – 2 tbsp Onion, finely chopped – 1 Green Coriander Leaves – 2 tbsp Chopped Green Chilli – 1 Black Pepper Powder – 1/2 tsp Desi Ghee – 1 tsp Salt – as per taste
Start by cleaning and rinsing the pulses thoroughly.
Next, soak them in water for an hour, and then drain the excess water by placing them in a sieve.
Take a vessel and pour 3-4 cups of water, or the amount needed, and add the pulses to it.
Cook them on low heat, and after some time, sprinkle salt to taste. Once the pulses are thoroughly cooked and boiling, turn off the heat and mash them to the desired consistency.
Next, finely chop the onion and carrot.
Take a pan and melt one spoonful of desi ghee on medium heat. Once the ghee is melted, add the chopped onions and carrots and saute them until lightly browned.
Then, add the boiled dal to the pan and mix it thoroughly with the vegetables. Allow the lentil soup to simmer on low heat for an additional 5 minutes, ensuring that it doesn’t become too watery.
Once it is thoroughly cooked, add a sprinkle of black pepper powder and garnish it with fresh green coriander leaves.
