(Original recipe makes 4 servings)
Ingredients:
1 cup brown lentils
1/2 cup rice
4 cups or 250 grams
spinach, chopped
2 garlic gloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
Salt and black pepper
1/2 to 2 cups plain
yogurt
Vegetable oil
1 small onion, chopped
1 tablespoon dried mint
Directions:
First, cook lentils and
rice together until completely cook. Add chopped spinach, minced garlic
turmeric, salt and black pepper. Let the soup cook for 10 more minutes until
all the ingredients cook together.
Pour yogurt into a
medium bowl. Add three ladle's worth of the mixture to the yogurt and mix them
well. Then, pour back the mixture into the pot and mix with the rest of the
soup. Let the soup cook for 10 more minutes until it thickens.
In a small pan, add
vegetable oil (3 - 4 tablespoons or more) and fry the chopped onion until
golden brown. Place the onion in a small dish and put aside. Turn off the stove
and add the dried mint to the remaining hot oil in the pan. Remove the pan from
the stove immediately and put aside.
Serve the soup in a soup
bowl and put the fried onion and mint on the top.
My Notes:
This is one of those
easy recipes that can be made in less than 1 hour.
If you are looking for a
delicious and nutritious vegetarian recipe to put on your dining table during
cold winter days, this would be the right one.
