Requirements
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes
Servings: 2–3
- ½ cup red or yellow lentils (masoor or moong dal), rinsed
- 2 cups fresh spinach leaves (roughly chopped)
- 1 small onion (finely chopped)
- 1 tomato (chopped)
- 2 garlic cloves (minced)

- Salt and black pepper to taste

How to Cook
To prepare the Lentil & Spinach Soup, start by heating olive oil in a pan over medium flame. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter, then sauté the chopped onion and garlic until golden. Add the chopped tomato and cook until soft. Stir in the lentils, turmeric, salt, and pepper, then pour in the water or vegetable broth. Bring it to a boil, then lower the flame and let it simmer for about 20–25 minutes until the lentils are soft and creamy. Add the chopped spinach and cook for another 3–5 minutes until wilted. Stir in lemon juice for a hint of freshness. Serve warm, garnished with fresh coriander.
