Directions
Spiced Golden Soup,The heat and Indian flavor of this soup are balanced beautifully. It’s also very easy to make. I like to serve it with a loaf of freshly baked bread (as seen in photo!),Delicious! I loved the spice combination. I actually increased the spices by about 50% and added a little extra salt, but otherwise followed the recipe. The soup is a beautiful golden color. This would work well with brown or red lentils, too. Thanx for posting!

Meanwhile, Heat Oil Over Medium in a Small Pan. Add Garlic and Saute For Just a Minute or So, not Quite Till Golden. Add Remaining Spices and Stir to Coat. Saute These For Another Couple of Minutes, Reducing Heat If Necessary. (you Can Use More Oil If You Wish. the Spices Will Be Sort of Crumbly Rather Than Pasty, but the Flavor Still Develops Just as Well.). |

Add Lime Juice, Salt to Taste, and Serve. Slices of Whole-Wheat Bread Are Wonderful For Dipping. or, If You Use a Little Less Water (say 1/2-1 Cup Less) This Would Be Thick Enough to Serve Like a Dahl,Over Rice. Enjoy! |
