Ingredients
1 and 1/2 cups (tea) washed dried lentils
1 large onion, sliced (or 2 medium or 3 small)
1 generous teaspoon cumin powder
Water to cover loosely (add more if dry as lentils swell a lot)
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
Olive oil for sautéing
Yogurt/fresh curd/lemon drops to serve (optional)
Directions
- Sauté the chopped onion in a pan with a little olive oil until it almost burns (Arabic style), or if you prefer, cook it with the lentils.
Add the lentils, cumin, black pepper and salt to taste.
- Fill the pot with water to cover the lentils and cook for approximately 10 to 20 minutes, or until the lentils are very tender.
Beat everything with a blender or mixer and serve the lentil soup warm with yogurt, lemon drops or fresh curd if you prefer.
