Introduction

Hi, I'm Harjoyt Kang and today we’re going to be making a vegan yellow and

orange lentil soup daal using India Base.

This one base creates hundreds of Indian dishes from scratch and it makes it

really easy and simple to do. Now here are the ingredients for this amazing

recipe.

Ingredients

So the first ingredient we’re going to be using is two cups of lentils.

So one cup of yellow lentils or mung lentils and one cup of orange lentils or

masoor lentils.

Now if you’re buying these bulk from your food shop, it’s really important you

sift through them just to make sure you don’t get any impurities in the lentils.

We washed it in a little bit of water, drained the water and then it’s ready to

pop it into our six cups of boiling water that we are going to use.

We diced up two medium sized tomatoes.

Of course we are going to be using one jar of India Base.

So we got a pinch of salt to taste and we got our favorite jalapeno that we’re

going to leave whole and we’ve cut it down the middle.

Step 1

So we added in our two cups of lentils, six cups of boiling water, and it’s right

now boiling at a high heat level.

Once it hits that boil, bring it down to a medium heat. So it’s simmering nicely.

You want to cook the lentils for 20-25 minutes.

And you want to add water as needed, so a good way to kind of indicate how

much water you have in the pot is you want the lentils to be submerged at

least 3 inches of water I would say.

So keep checking on it every few minutes or so and to give it a stir and also to

check how much water is left. Because you don’t want it to run out and the

lentils will thicken up on you.

So to this I’m going to add a pinch of salt.

And this is completely optional but you can add a pinch of turmeric to the

water, if you don’t have turmeric that’s okay. Because India base has turmeric

in it already. So you don’t need to worry too much about that.

I’m going to add in the whole jalapeno. And we’ll take that out once we finish

cooking the lentils.




Step 2

And now we are going to add in our two diced tomatoes. So give that a good

stir and we are going to leave that on to a medium to medium-high heat.

We are going to cover it, leaving a small crack open letting out some of the

steam escape, because if you don’t it’s going to boil up on you. And you don’t

want that to happen.

We’re going to keep checking up on it for 20-25 minutes. A little longer just

depending on how soft you want the lentils and then we’ll check back on it and

add water as needed.

Step 3

So we’ve been boiling the lentils for a good 20-25 minutes.

You’ll notice that while you are cooking them that there’s a type of film or

froth that is collected at the top.

So what you want to do is with your spoon just remove that layer that rises to

the top. And get rid of it.

So we got our lentils going, and in our pot here, in our saucepan here, we’ve

added one tablespoon of olive oil.

To that I’m actually going to add dried fenny Greek leaves and it adds a little

bit of flavor. And if you don’t have this, that’s alright, you can add a little bit of

cilantro at the end, but it just adds a little bit of greenness to the dish.



So I’ll add in our whole jar of India base.

And we’re going to do something called tempering up the lentils. So this is a

really great way to add flavor to your lentil dish.

So what we’re going to do once we’ve mixed our India base with the olive oil

and it’s warmed through. Now we’ve got this on a medium-heat. Mix it

through.

Step 4

So India base has been warming through now for about a couple of minutes.

Turned it up to about a medium high heat.

And now what I’m going to do is temper the lentils.

So I’m going to add in, one ladle full to start of the lentils. Going to mix it

around. Stir. And now I’m going to add in, the second ladle full of the lentils.

So this is a great way to add in flavor right into the base, of the dish, which is

our India base.

And then we are going to mix it in, to get in all of the flavors incorporated with

the lentils. I’m going to turn that off, and throw that right in with the rest of

the lentils.

This is a unique way of adding flavor directly into the lentils. So I’m going to

let this simmer again on our medium to medium-low heat.




Cover it for another 15-minutes. Once I’ve stirred all of India base. At this

stage, you can add in any salt, or add in anymore heat.

So I’m just going to give it a good stir cover it up and cook for another 10-15

minutes.

All done!

So there you have it, a super simple, and yellow and orange lentil soup daal.

The perfect dish to start the day or as a mid-day meal.
