Lentil Shorba Recipe

This is a take off on the traditional Konkani Saarupkari and it is wonderfully filling and healthy too. I usually make it on days when we have had a heavy lunch and would like to have something light yet filling for supper.

Ingredients :

• 125 gms Lobia/Black Eyed Beans
• 1 tsp Chilly flakes
• 15 flakes garlic crushed
• 1 tomato chopped fine.
• 2 tbsps Ghee/clarified butter
• 1 dry red chilly
• Salt

Method :
Wash and pressure cook Lobia till soft and mushy. After the cooker has cooled down, tip the Lobia into a pan and mash it well. Add the chopped tomato to the cooked Lobia and boil well. Heat Ghee in a pan. Add the crushed garlic. When it turns golden brown add the chilly flakes and the broken red chilly. Toss. Drop it into the Shorba. Boil well and serve hot.
