DAHL SOUP - FIJIAN INDIAN VERSION

Dahl Soup - Fijian Indian Version image

This is the most delicious Indian soup ever. I first tasted it when staying at the Tanoa Hotel in Nadi, Fiji, and have been hooked on it ever since. Extremely easy to prepare and will be enjoyed by anyone who loves Indian Cuisine. Can be made as hot or mild as you prefer simply by adjusting the chili powder.
