Plant-Based
A creamy coconut lentil soup with South Indian spices, tomatoes and kale, finished with a squeeze of lemon and fragrant coriander then topped with golden cubes of paneer cheese.
1. Heat a saucepan over medium heat with 2 tbsp oil. Slice leek and add to pan as you go. Stir in spices from dahl kit and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until tender.
2. Chop tomatoes and add to pan along with 1 tbsp tomato paste. Pour in coconut milk, lentils from kit and 1L water, stir to combine. Simmer with lid on for 10-15 minutes, or until lentils are tender.
3. Dice paneer and coat with 1 tsp turmeric, salt and pepper. Heat a frypan over medium-high heat with 1 tbsp oil. Cook paneer for 3-4 minutes, turning until golden and warmed through.
4. Thinly slice kale leaves. Stir through soup until kale is wilted. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
5. Stir 1/2 lemon juice through soup (wedge remaining). Divide between bowls, top with paneer and garnish with chopped coriander.
Notes:
You can also cook the paneer in the soup if preferred. Simply add at the same time as the tomatoes before simmering.
