Instructions
- Wash the red lentils until running water until the water is not cloudy anymore. Set it aside.
- Heat a sauce pot on medium heat and add olive oil. Saute chopped onions until they are light golden.
- Reduce the heat to medium low. Add minced garlic followed by turmeric powder and cumin powder. Cook for 2 minutes and keep stirring to avoid burning of spices.
- Add chopped carrots and lentils. Cook for 2 minutes to toast them and then add vegetable stalk.
- Cover with lid and cook on low heat for 45 minutes until the lentils are tender. Stir during cooking to prevent lentils from sticking to the base.
- Turn off the heat and squeeze in lemon juice. Let it cool a bit before blending it for around a minute to make it smooth and creamy. Add salt if needed.
- Garnish with parsley, red chili pepper and serve warm.
