furthermore, i would also like to add some more additional tips, suggestions and variations to dal soup recipe. firstly, i have tried to make this recipe without oil or butter in it. the idea was to make it healthy. however, you may add butter or ghee while pressure cooking the lentils to make it more flavoured. secondly, add as much as vegetables you like. make sure to make it balanced with the carbs, fibre and protein. lentil supplies protein, whereas potatoes or sweet potatoes supply carbs and all leafy vegetables supply fibre. lastly, once the soup is rested it would improve its consistency to thick. you may need to add water to bring it to the right consistency before it is served.
