Renjna's Dal Soup Recipe

...brought to you by Recipes EU



Renjna's Dal Soup
2 cup Masoor dal (red lentils)
Water to cover
2 tsp Turmeric
1 tsp Salt
4 tbsp Canola oil
6 each Cloves garlic
4 each Jalapeno peppers
2 tsp Garam masala
2 tbsp Cumin seeds
1/2 tsp Salt
Additional salt to taste


Sort and wash the dal until the water runs clear. Place the dal in a
soup pot and add water to cover by about 2 inches. Add the turmeric
and 1 teaspoon of salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer
for about 30 minutes, until the dal is soft and beginning to fall
apart. Add more water if the dal is too thick.

Heat the oil in a frying pan. Mince the garlic, coarsely chop the
jalapenos (remove the seeds if you don't want the dal to be very
hot). Add the garlic and jalapenos to the oil, along with the cumin
seeds, garam masala and salt. Saute for a few minutes, until the
garlic begins to brown. Add this mixture to the dal. Mix well (you
may need to add a little dal to the frying pan and pour this back
into the pot to get all the spices out of the pan). Simmer for
another 20 minutes or so to blend all the flavors well. Adjust salt,
if desired.

Top with chopped cilantro for garnish if desired. Serve hot, with
bread as a light main course, or incorporate into a full Indian
dinner.

Diet hints and tips

If you want to regain your youthful figure and also better your all round shape, then, as most people know, you really should undertake a thoughtfully prepared healthy-minded dietary regime. At best, this should include five portions of fruit and vegetables per day and also embrace an appropriate mixture of protein, carbohydrates and fats.

In deciding on a weight loss program, it is important to also make sure you regulate your consumption of salt, fat and refined carbohydrate.

At the start of a diet, people far too often look at chain store and well known food products claiming to be 'low-fat'. This is often incorrect, for a food could be reduced in fat content, but also contain far too many carbs.

Learn to recognise the difference between hunger and thirst. Occasionally during a normal work day, you fancy you are hungry when in fact you may want a healthy tumbler of water or orange juice. The feelings of hunger and thirst are quite alike, but one of them can result in weight increase and the other does not.

Rather than concentrating on which food types you need to remove from your meal plan, look at the sensible foods that you might want to bring into your diet. If you manage to introduce a few nutritious grains, fruit and vegetables into your diet, you will discover that stop feeling hungry and have a far reduced risk of falling prey to those unhealthy mid-morning snacks.
