Shorba, lentil soup
« on: August 29, 2016, 09:13 AM »
Shorba. An Arabic lentil soup.
Not an Indian recipe but a traditional Arabic soup that can be enhanced with Indian spices to make it part of an Indian meal. I cook this frequently when I have a houseful round for a Curryfest and it goes down very well. The original recipe, as shown here, is from http://www.rehanadujour.com/2014/07/14/shorba-arabic-lentil-soup/ I double the vegetables, Including the garlic, and replace the neutral oil with coconut oil or ghee, I use chicken bone broth in place of the stock and generally mess around with the spicing. I never use the whole amount of salt straight off, preferring to put in about half then taste and add as necessary. We have taken a flask of this along on cold days out when a salad or sandwich is not enough to fend off the damp.
