Method of cooking Yellow lentil recipe


Yellow Lentil Soup
1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sweat the onions, garlic and ginger until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the cumin, coriander, curry powder, turmeric, salt, pepper and yellow lentils and cook for 3 minutes. Add the coconut milk, lime juice, red chilies, stock and brown sugar. Bring to a boil and reduce heat. Simmer for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the lentils are very soft. Season with salt and pepper. If soup is too thick, thin with a little more stock. Serve the soup into warm bowl and garnish with the Coriander Chutney.
