About This Dish

Daal Soup is the foundation of Indian home cooking – a dish that has nourished families across the subcontinent for over 5,000 years. At SPICE ROOM, our version features silky red lentils (masoor dal) simmered with turmeric, cumin, and fresh ginger until they dissolve into a velvety, soul-warming broth.

The magic is in the tadka – a final tempering of cumin seeds, garlic, and dried red chilies sizzled in ghee and drizzled over the soup. Naturally vegan, gluten-free, and packed with plant-based protein.
