Step 1: You start by taking a large pan and then heating some oil in it. Then, add a pinch of chili flakes along with two teaspoons of cumin seeds. Dry fry these ingredients until they start jumping around the saucepan.

With the remaining mixture in the pan, add 600 grams of washed and finely grated carrots, two tablespoons of olive oil, 140 grams of split red lentils, one cube of vegetable stock and 125 ml of milk to the pan. Bring to a boil. Let it simmer for around 10-20 minutes or until the lentils have softened.
Step 3: Using a food processor or a stick blender, combine the mixture until you are left with a smooth soup.
Step 4: Now, season the soup as per your taste. You can pour a dollop of plain yogurt along with some roasted spices and serve with naan bread.
Reviews
“Very nice base recipe. I added bay leaves to the oil and added more chilli flakes, an onion, ginger and garlic paste, ground coriander, pinch of turmeric and at the end, a green chilli, garam masala and obviously salt and pepper to taste. I also use vegan bouillon and have noticed it overpowers the flavour of the dish. So instead of 4 tsp of the powder I added 3. This recipe will definitely be a staple in my cooking.” – From Mickey

“Will try this again with some changes. I’m going to leave out the water, double the spices (add salt as my garam masala lacked any salt) and maybe not use light coconut milk.” – From A
“This was very easy to make and surprisingly hot for a coconut milk curry. We added some prawns to the dish and we’re both big fans of seafood. We also ended up putting a splash of cream into it to reduce the heat of the cayenne pepper. Very tasty and would definitely make it again.” – From CeriB
