South Indian rice and fish soup
Print is recipe
Inspiration for this recipe came from Jamie Olivers’ dinners cook book – South Indian Rice and Seafood Soup. I have been exploring recipes from my favorite chefs to see how many of our specialty spice blends can be used instead of the many different spices listed in a lot of recipes. I am super excited about this variation. I am a firm believer in not re inventing the wheel and if a fantastic chef like Jamie has created a master piece then i am happy to give full credit. My contribution is to show how our spice blends can be substituted as the flavour base for many different recipes, for this recipe i have used our Curry indian lentil (dahl).

Curry Lentil Dahl – Mild
Product description
Dahl is a mild curry made from dried lentils, peas, or beans, which have been made into a thick soup or stew. The spices are aromatic rather than hot and are added just before serving. Our lentil dahl blend is based on an authentic recipe from Southern Kerala in India. It is dark yellow in colour and is widely used in Indian, Nepali, Pakistani, Sri Lankan, and Bangladeshi cuisine. This is the go-to spice blend for any vegetarian or vegan cook. Its versatility is only limited by one’s imagination.
