A Little About Lentil

A Little About Lentil | Cook This Spicy Lentil Soup To Banish The Winter Blues

Lentils are small and colorful legumes that are great for making soups and stews. They are also ground into flour, and the plant is typically used for feeding domesticated livestock like chickens, pigs, and cattle.

The chief ingredient in your spicy lentil soup recipe is believed to be the oldest legume and native to the southwestern part of Asia. The seeds were found in ancient tombs of Egypt dating as far back as 2,400 BC. There is also evidence of cultivation as early as 6000 BC. Recently, these lentils are being cultivated across Asia and several parts of North Africa and Europe. Countries like India consider lentils as a staple food.

Lentils don’t just bring delicious flavor to your recipe, but they are also rich in protein and carbohydrates. They are a good source of B vitamins, iron, phosphorus, and calcium as well.

Add 2 tsp Kosher salt, ground turmeric, garlic, ginger, tomato, and chili pepper to the pot. Partially cover the pot and let it simmer over medium-low heat, frequently stirring until thick. This should take about 18 to 20 minutes.

After the soup is thick enough, stir in fresh cilantro. Add some water to the soup if you find it really thick and season with salt as desired. Stir the soup for another 5 minutes and it should be ready.

Step 3: Yogurt Mixture
