Tasty Spicy Lentil Soup Recipe

I came across this lentil soup one day and couldn’t believe how tasty it was. It’s very spicy, though, so unless you can handle hot and spicy food, you may want to skip this or exclude the 3 green chili peppers.

  • 2 tbsp Daal spice

  • 1 lb of red split lentils
  • Water
