2. Onion finely chopped – 1/2 cup
3. Ripe tomato (finely chopped) – 1
4. Garlic cloves (minced) – 3-4
5. Dal water (supernatant of boiled pulses) – 2 cups
6. Salt and pepper powder – to taste
7. Oil – 1 teaspoon

Total quantity: 2 cups (1 serving)

preparation:

Heat oil in a pan, add chopped onion, garlic and sauté until onions turn translucent, add the tomatoes, and cook for a few more minutes. Now add cleaned and chopped green leaves and sauté until they soften, then add 2 cups of diluted dal water, salt, and simmer for 15 minutes. Blend half of the quantity and then add this to the rest of the soup and simmer for another 5 minutes. Add pepper powder to taste.
