(Spicy lentil Broth) Creamy lentil soup seasoned with cumin, tamarind, asafetida, coriander, turmeric, and red and black pepper
This dish, popular in the southern regions of India, is a prime example of the use of legumes particularly of lentils as a main source of protein for the majority vegetarian/vegan population. The use of asafetida is primarily for its onion/garlic replicating abilities which are quite popular amongst strict Jainism and Sikhism practitioners as they are not permitted to eat either garlic or onions; however its particular use in this dish does not completely reflect that principle.
