Ingredients:
- Lentils (red lentil): half cup
- One tomato
- One onion
- Garlic: 3–4 gloves
- A pinch of turmeric
- Salt as per taste
- 1-2 green chillies
- 2 teaspoons mustard oil
Method:
Step 1:
First, wash the lentils and chop the onion, garlic, green chilies, and tomatoes.
Step 2:
Put some water in a high pan and add lentils, green chilies, half-chopped onions, and half-chopped garlic (save the rest for later tempering).
Step 3:
Give time to boil all ingredients together, then add turmeric and salt.
Step 4:
We must temper the soup when the lentil seeds are cooked and the mixture gets thicker. It’s totally a optional step, but it makes the soup more yummy.
Step 5:
Put oil in another high pan and add the rest of the garlic, onions, and chilies. Cook until it gets brown. Add the lentil soup and the chopped tomatoes. Again, cook for another 5–6 minutes. Now here is your amazing, delicious, protein-filled lentil soup, ready.
