Recipe by Katie Mae
Makes 2½ quarts | Ready in 1 hour and 10 minutes | Stores 1 week in fridge
INGREDIENTS
6–7 cups water
1 cup moong daal (mung beans), soaked overnight
1 cup split chana daal (yellow split peas)
1 cup green split peas
15 oz fire-roasted tomatoes, no salt added
1½ carrots, diced (about 8 oz)
1 red onion, chopped (about 7 oz)
1½ tablespoons fresh ginger, minced
1½ tablespoons curry powder
1 tablespoon chili powder
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 bay leaves
1 lemon, juiced
cilantro for garnish
ACTION STEPS
- Put everything in the large soup pot over medium-high heat. Cover and bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to a strong simmer. Let the soup cook for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Then taste the daal. You may want to let it cook longer depending on how tender you like the beans.
- When the daal is ready, remove the bay leaves. Ladle into individual bowls and garnish with cilantro.
CHEF’S NOTES
The water amount depends on the cooking method, time, and the desired consistency. On the stovetop, I usually use 7 cups of water. In the pressure cooker, I only use 6 cups.
To cook this soup in an electric pressure cooker, add all ingredients to the pressure cooker. Set it to soup mode with a 22 minute cook time. When the timer goes off, manually release the pressure knob. When pressure is released remove lid and serve.
Why doesn’t the Three Daal Soup have a “Print Recipe” button? Why do the “Print Recipe” buttons on the SOS-Free Caribbean Coleslaw & accompanying Hot Sauce articles bring up “404 Not Found” messages?
Still wondering. There are several other recipes coming up with “404 Not Found”. Why is that?
Hi, Nancy. Again, thanks for pointing these out. The reason is that I moved my website last year to a new platform, and I haven’t had the bandwidth to fix all of the issues that occurred in the transition (I run my company essentially alone). I’ll get to these as soon as humanly possible. Thanks for your understanding 🙂
