LENTIL SOUP
This recipe is best in a slow cooker. I usually cook the lentils for at least 24 hours, ensuring good digestion.
INGREDIENTS:
500 grams washed organic lentils
4 washed carrots
1 or 2 onions
Pataks tikka Masala curry paste(coles)
rice bran oil (coles)
1 litre water
PROCESS:
finely chop onions and fry in a splash of rice bran oil until caramelized....be careful to not burn onions, you might need to add a little water.
put washed lentils in slow cooker.
add onions.
cut washed carrots into small/ bite sized pieces...add carrots.
add 1 litre of water and simmer for at least 4 hrs.
add tikka masala curry paste.
do not stir.
Allow the bubbles to rise up and settle at the surface, then gently with a large flat spoon 'skim the scum' from the top. This ensures the lentils will not make you gaseous.
Add extra water throughout the process if you like it more soup like.
