• 2 tsp cumin seeds
• 2/TBS of olive oil
• 1l hot vegetable stock (from a cube is fine)

Steps

• 2 teaspoons of cumin seeds and a pinch of chili flakes are dry-fried for about a minute in a large saucepan that has been heated on the stove. This method helps to release the fragrant oils in the spices, which will increase the flavor of the soup. As the spices start to jump around the pan and become fragrant, they are ready to be used in the recipe.

• Two tablespoons of olive oil, 600 grams of coarsely chopped carrots, 140 grams of divided red lentils, 1 liter of hot vegetable stock, and 125 milliliters of milk are added to the dish along with a portion of the toasted flavours that were saved. The mixture is then heated until it boils, which helps to cook the vegetables and lentils and combine the flavours.

• Includes stewing the blend for 15 minutes until the lentils have enlarged and relaxed. This permits the fixings to merge together and make a firm soup.

• The soup is mixed until smooth utilizing a stick blender or food processor. This step assists with making a smooth surface and mix every one of the fixings together.

• Includes preparing the soup to taste and completing it with a dab of plain yogurt and a sprinkling of the saved toasted flavours. The soup is then fit to be presented with warmed naan breads.
