- Prepare 1 carrot, peeled and finely chopped
- Take 1 cup red lentils
- Prepare 1 tbsp tomato puree
- Take 1 tsp mango chutney
- Prepare 1 heaped tbsp dessicated coconut (unsweetened)
- Prepare Squeeze lemon
- Prepare 1 tbsp natural yoghurt - I used thick greek yoghurt. (You could leave this out if you don't have any - it will just be a little less rich and creamy.)
- Prepare Salt
- Make ready Chilli flakes
Stir in vinegar or lemon juice before serving. Add the curry powder and chili powder and heat for just one minute. Add the carrots and potatoes, stirring to coat well with spices. Heat for a minute or two, just to give the carrots and potatoes a head start.
Steps to make Curried red lentil and potato soup:
- Heat the oil in a large saucepan and add the onion, garlic and ginger. Cook for a few minutes until starting to soften.
- Add the spices and mix with the onion. Now add the potato and carrot and coat with the spices. Add a little stock (2-3 tbsps) to loosen the spices.
- Add the lentils and stir well. Add the coconut milk and 1/4 of the stock and stir well. Bring to the boil and reduce to a simmer. Add the tomato puree, dessicated coconut and mango chutney and stir well.
- Cook for 5 minutes with the lid on. Now add the rest of the stock, bring to the boil and reduce to a simmer. Cook with the lid on for 25 minutes or until the veg and lentils are lovely and soft. Stir regularly so that the lentils don't stick to the bottom of the pan.
- Use a hand blender to blend the soup until smooth (you can serve the soup as it is before blending which will give you more of a thin dahl).
- Add a good squeeze of lemon juice, yoghurt and seasoning and simmer for a few more minutes. Serve in warm bowls with some lovely fresh chunky bread - we had ours with porridge oat bread while it was still warm from the bread maker… Heaven!
