Mauritian food is versatile . it is a mixture of different cuisines (exotic)
today i am going to show you how to make Lentil soup the easy version . i said easy because many people add different ingredients to the soup , i grew up eating lentil with carrots and potatoes in it .but this recipe is the basic base to make it . so enjoy and leave your comments below of what you add in your soup ;)
INGREDIENTS :
1. 250 g black lentil
2. thyme
3. onions
4. dry chillies ( optional)
5. tomato
6. salt to taste
7. 1tsp of ginger garlic paste
8. 2 tsp of vegetable oil
NOTE : You can use fresh tomato slices instead of tomato paste :)
METHOD :
- soak lentil for approximately 30 mins to 1 hour ( the longer the lentil is soaked , the quicker it will cook )
- in a pressure cooker add the oil , wait until hot to add the onions and chillies .
-when the onions has turn light in brown and appears soft , add the thyme , ginger garlic paste and
stir
- add tomato paste and stir .
-when the tomato and the rest of the ingredients has cooked for roughly about 1 mins , add the soak lentil , salt and stir .
- add water ( fill 3/4 of the pressure cooker ) and let cook on a slow to medium heat for about 15 to 20 mins or until creamy
---- a good tip ----
usually the lentil is ready after 4 to 6 whistle from the pressure cooker
- check if creamy enough and taste if it requires more salt .
et voila :) ENJOY with a plate of white rice with a rougaille or satini poisson sale and mashed potato .
check my youtube channel for some fun with carving etc . recently we posted how to carve a tomato flower . link down below
until then see you all soon :)
