Vegan Adasi
Directions
- 1In a pot, sauté the onion in 2-3 tbsp of oil for about 4 minutes until slightly translucent.
- 2Then add in the turmeric mix, and remove half for garnish.
- 3Add in the minced garlic, and sauté for a further 3 minutes until slightly browned.
- 4Add the tomato paste and sauté for a further 3-4 minutes so that the tomato darkens slightly and releases its aroma.
- 5Next add in the lentils, along with 6 cups of boiling water and the salt, cinnamon and cracked black pepper, and optional potato cubes.
- 6Bring to a boil, put the lid on the pot, then adjust to a low heat to allow it to stew.
- 7After 15 minutes, it should be ready.
- 8Check the consistency of the Adasi and that the lentils are cooked through. We want a thick soup, with little liquid.
- 9Serve with warm toasted bread, an optional sprinkle of golpar (ground angelica seed) and squeeze of lime.
- 10Enjoy!
