I love anything with coconut milk in it! This looks yummy, when I try it, I will use light coconut milk though. Serve with naan bread for dipping.

Dahl Soup - Fijian Indian Version image

This is the most delicious Indian soup ever. I first tasted it when staying at the Tanoa Hotel in Nadi, Fiji, and have been hooked on it ever since. Extremely easy to prepare and will be enjoyed by anyone who loves Indian Cuisine. Can be made as hot or mild as you prefer simply by adjusting the chili powder.

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 17

Ingredients

1 Tbsp sesame oil
1 cup chopped onion
2 clove garlic, finely chopped
2 cups vegetable broth
1 (15-oz) can(s) diced tomatoes (undrained)
1 (13-oz) can(s) light coconut milk
1 cup lentils (red or yellow work equally well)
2 tsp finely chopped ginger (or 1 1/2 tsp ground ginger)
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp coriander
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cardamom
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 medium lemon, juiced
1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (amount is approximate)

Steps:

1. Heat oil in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add onions and garlic, and sauté for about 6 minutes, stirring frequently, or until the onions are soft and starting to caramelize.
2. Add all remaining ingredients (except lemon and cilantro). Let the mixture almost reach a boil. Reduce heat, cover pot, and let simmer 20 to 30 minutes or until lentils are tender.
3. Remove pot from heat, and stir in 3/4 cup of the cilantro. Squeeze lemon halves into the pot, and stir. Ladle into serving bowls, and garnish each serving with remaining cilantro, and serve immediately.

Tips:

Use a good quality dried lentils. Red lentils cook quickly and break down easily, making them a good choice for a smooth and creamy soup. Green lentils hold their shape better, so they're a good choice if you want a soup with a bit more texture.
Soak your lentils before cooking. This will help them cook more evenly and reduce the cooking time.
Rinse your lentils well before cooking. This will help remove any dirt or debris.
Use a variety of spices to flavor your soup. Cumin, coriander, and turmeric are all classic Indian spices that work well in dahl soup. You can also add other spices to taste, such as chili powder, garam masala, or ginger.
Don't overcook your lentils. They should be tender but still hold their shape.
Serve your dahl soup with a variety of toppings. Popular toppings include cilantro, yogurt, lime wedges, and papadums.

Conclusion:

Dahl soup is a delicious and nutritious meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover lentils. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious and satisfying dahl soup that the whole family will love.
