Rice Cooker Lentil Soup

This recipe is adapted from Bikram’s book “The Mystic Kitchens of Nepal”. The soup is healthy and satisfying.

INGREDIENTS

• 1/2 cup of Organic Masoor Dal (Amazon)
• 2.5 cups of water
• 1/4 teaspoon of Desi Tumeric (People’s Coop)
• 1/4 teaspoon of Organic Cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder (or sliced garlic)
• Ghee, pink salt, and pepper (optional)

DIRECTIONS

1. Use an electronic rice cooker (e.g. Zojirushi Neuro Fuzzy)
2. Put 1/2 cup of dal in the rice cooker pot, and rinse with water
3. Add water to the pot until it reaches the .5 level on the porridge scale.
4. Add turmeric, cumin, and garlic to the pot
5. Set the timer at least three hours ahead so the dal soaks for a few hours before cooking starts.
6. Serve
