Ingredients:

2 cups of lentils/beans
2 tbsp oil
3-4 tomatoes
1/2 cup chopped onion
3-4 cloves of garlic
1 tsp crushed coriander seeds
1/4 tsp asafoetida powder (hing)
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
1/2 tsp mustard seeds
2 tbsp paprika
1/2 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp salt
1 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp garam masala
6-7 cups of water
4-5 stalks of cilantro/coriander leaves

Method:
I used pressure cooker for this recipe. Slow cooker can also be used.

- Heat oil in the cooker and add crushed coriander seeds, cumin and mustard. Give them about a min and add garlic and onion. Stir with spices.
- Add rest of the spices. Fry for 3-4 mins until onions turn golden-brown.
- Add tomatoes and cook further for 3-4 mins. Once tomatoes are tender, add beans, garam masala and some chopped cilantro leaves.
- Add water and close the cooker and let cook for 4-5 whistles on medium heat. Since I presoaked the beans, cooker doesnt take too long.. About 10-15 mins. If beans are not presoaked, can take upto 25-30 mins.
- Once cooker has cool down,open it and then serve soup with flatbread of your choice.
