Today's post is a quick to make and kid-friendly soup with Toor
Dal and Carrots. Simply earthy , and teamed with garlic bread, it makes for a
yummy supper or evening snack. It requires very few ingredients and can be made
either in the soup pot or the pressure cooker. I prefer the latter method as
its quicker and gives an uniform consistency. Last two days of BM with Toor Dal
saw Sambhar Saadam (One Pot Meal) and Thogari Nuchinunde (Steamed lentil
savoury snack). Linking this to Blogging Marathon and also to PJ who is hosting

Hey, I have to say that I learnt three new ways of using toor dal! Sambar rice is not new (but I have never tried that recipe), but the soup and the steamed cake is totally new! Love how BM introduces new recipes to us 🙂
