  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1-inch piece fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds

  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons oil

fremgangsmåte
 

  • Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and cook until they begin to pop.
  • Stir in the onion, garlic, and ginger. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the onion softens.
  • Add the turmeric and red chili powder. Stir for 30 seconds to toast the spices.
  • Pour in the vegetable broth and add the rinsed lentils. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes until the lentils are soft.
  • Stir in the chopped mustard greens and cook for another 5 minutes until they wilt but stay bright green.
  • Season with salt. Ladle into bowls and top with cilantro. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.

Simmer the lentils until they start to break down slightly for a thicker broth without needing a blender. Add the mustard greens only at the end so they keep their color and texture. If the soup thickens too much on reheating, stir in a splash of broth or water. The lemon at the table brightens the spices nicely.
