Spicy lentil broth





Ingredients

2 cups red lentils
1 kilo roasted tomatoes
2 onions, chopped up
half teaspoon cayenne pepper
half teaspoon paprika
1 knob ginger, peeled and grated
3 cloves garlic, crushed and finely diced
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
6 - 10 cardomon seeds (gently crushed)
half teaspoon ground coriander
salt
pepper
oil
water

 
Fry the onions, ginger and garlic.


Add the spices




Fry together.


Add the tomatoes




Once boiling add the lentils and enough water to ensure it doesn't boil dry.




Simmer for around 20 - 30 minutes until the lentils are soft.

This is great as a soup, or as a base for chicken-kofta.

Also great cold, as a soup, or a dip.
