Cooking Steps
- Preheat the oven to 200°C and boil the kettle.
- Bake the naan for 2 - 3 minutes.
- Meanwhile, roughly chop the garlic.
- Heat the olive oil in a soup pot over medium-high heat. Fry the garlic with the ginger paste, the pre-cut vegetables and the garam masala* for 1 minute.
*Take care, this ingredient is spicy! Use as preferred.
- Open the lentils and add them directly to the soup (no need to drain them).
- Add the passata and the coconut milk.
- Pour in the boiling water and crumble in the stock cube (see pantry for amounts).
- Bring to a boil and allow to simmer gently for 5 - 7 minutes.
- In the meantime, roughly chop both the coriander leaves and stems.
- Roughly chop the mint leaves.
- In a small bowl, combine the yogurt with the mint and half of the coriander. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Add the white wine vinegar to the soup. Process with an immersion blender until it reaches your preferred texture (see Tip). Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Serve the soup in bowls and top with the yogurt sauce. Garnish with the shaved almonds and the rest of the coriander.
- Drizzle with the extra virgin olive and serve the naan alongside.
Tip: if the soup is still too thick, gradually add more water until the texture is to your liking.
