excellent
Coconut milk, and garnishing with cheese could be optional. and I don’t put salt and pepper but keep it on the table for who wants it….and onion and garlic is also optional but it does make it tasty and gives good flavour…. and Garlic is very medicinal….
U can also use brown or other lentils of your choice or have. Can also add tomatoes, U can soak lentils overnight in warm water and boil it till tender or cooked or U can also use pressure cooker if u have one make sure u have enough water so it does not burn, and I let it cook In pressure cooker on M-High heat and when I hear 2-3 whistles I remove it off the stove, and when cool open and check and add the ingredients and let it simmer. or put all the veggies and salt and pepper and cook it in pressure cooker it will be ready in one hour, When cool open the pressure cooker and add broth of your choice and U can blend if u choose to or do not have to. And garnish with cheese or Corriender chopped for the aroma….U can buy all these lentils at Super Market or cheaper at Indian stores in wide variety and also can buy turmeric and cumin seeds and red chilli powder and garam masala and fresh coriander and mint. Will find these things cheaper at Indian stores. Saffron and cardamom are expensive but good. We have low G I Rice for Diabetics in Indian stores.
