We usually eat this with Chapati, but it is also good with rice or even by itself.

Uh-oh! We're unable to calculate nutrition for this recipe because some ingredients aren't recognized.

Step 1

Start the lentils boiling in water enough to cover all the lentils/moong. Note that Moong will take almost double the time to cook.

Step 2

Fry the chopped onion in olive oil until transparent.

Step 3

Add the pureed tomato. Cover and let simmer on low for a few minutes

Step 4

In a cup dissolve the Royco in about 3/4 cup of water and then add to the pan with the tomatoes and onion.

Step 5

Cover and let simmer on low for 10-15 minutes. Add water when it gets too dried out so that it does not burn.

Step 6

Check the lentils, they should have boiled a lot of the water away, boil them until there is only about an inch of water in the bottom. Do not drain.

Step 7

Add the onion/tomato mix to the pot of lentils. Add more water if necessary to make a thick soup.

Step 8

Salt to taste

Step 9

Stir in the finely chopped cilantro
