Spinach Lentil Soup is a cozy, wholesome bowl made by sautéing onion, garlic, and carrots in hot oil, then wilting in a generous bowlful of washed spinach. Soft-cooked thuvar dhal is stirred in with its cooking water, simmered briefly, and blended until smooth and velvety. Finished with salt and pepper, it’s topped with fresh mint leaves and crunchy almond flakes for a bright, nutty touch—best served piping hot.
