Dal Soup (tastes fabulous!)

[Guest guest]

This has to be the easiest and yet one of the most flavorful soups I

have ever made. I am keeping a constant supply on hand, making it

once a week or so.

I'm pretty loose with recipes so this is what I do. Experiment and

see what you like.

 

1 cup yellow dal(split peas)

1/2 t ground tumeric

1/2 t ground coriander (roast the spice in a dry skillet and grind

in a coffee grinder- this is a critical step)

8 cups water

1/2 large can of chopped tomatoes

1 T mustard seeds(black) toast them too till grey and popping but do

not grind them.

1/2 cup cilantro

salt and pepper to taste.

 

 

Water and peas and tumeric, cook around 1 hour till soft.

Add tomatoes, mustard seeds, ground coriander, cilantro.

 

 

Put in a blender. Salt and pepper to taste.

 

I like it with some coarse food puree but you can make it as smooth

as you like.

Eat! It's great!
