Malzemeler

• 1 cup red lentils
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1-inch piece of ginger, grated
• 1 carrot, diced
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon coriander powder
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (adjust to taste)
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt, to taste
• Fresh cilantro, for garnish
• For the naan:
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup yogurt
• 1/4 cup water (adjust as needed)
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• Salt, to taste
• Butter, for brushing

Yapılışı

• In a pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and sauté until fragrant.
• Add chopped onions, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Cook until softened.
• Stir in the diced carrot, coriander powder, turmeric, and chili powder. Cook for another 2 minutes.
• Add the rinsed lentils and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes until lentils are tender.
• Meanwhile, for the naan, combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Gradually stir in yogurt and water to form a soft dough.
• Knead the dough for a few minutes, then cover and let it rest for 15 minutes.
• Divide the dough into balls and roll out into flat rounds. Cook on a hot skillet until puffed and golden on each side, brushing with butter.
• Once the soup is cooked, season with salt and serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro alongside the naan.

Püf Noktaları

For a creamier soup, blend a portion of the lentil soup until smooth before serving. Adjust the spices according to your preference; you can add a splash of lemon juice or coconut milk for extra richness. When making naan, allow the dough to rest adequately for a softer texture. Ensure your skillet is hot enough to puff the naan while cooking.
