A HEARTY LENTIL SOUP RECIPE YOU’LL CRAVE ON THE REGULAR

Dahl (at times spelled dal, daal and dhal) is one of those recipes that looks and sounds exotic – but is actually extremely easy to make.

Hey, at the end of the day it’s lentil soup.

But don’t let the ease of whipping up this dal recipe fool you into thinking it tastes simple. On the contrary, there’s a lot going on in the flavor department!

Yellow lentils are slow cooked with onion and garlic – along with a host of warming spices like turmeric, cumin and cinnamon for a depth of flavor that isn’t spicy, yet packs a real punch.

We’ve added a bit of tomato paste to impart the bright essence of tomato – and finished it off with zingy lemon and garden fresh chopped cilantro.

This dahl recipe is one of our favorite lentil recipes of all time. And you’ll be shocked by how easy it is to make!

HOW TO MAKE DAHL SOUP IN A RICE COOKER

To make this rice cooker dahl soup, simply load the inner cooking pot of your Tiger multifunctional rice cooker with all the soup ingredients (EXCEPT the chopped cilantro and lemon wedges).

When you select the Slow Cook preset and press the Start button, your work is done!

We love serving dal with a spritz of fresh lemon juice and a sprinkling of bright cilantro. And if you’ve got some naan to dip in this flavorful Indian soup, you’ve got a full-on meal at your fingertips.
