#SoupSalad - A healthy and a nutritious soup of whole masoor dal (red lentil) with cheese for some extra flavour. It can be had as it is or with some croutons / bread sticks for a wholesome meal. I wanted to deviate from the normal soup, so added a little bit of sambar powder and curry leaves. The taste was simply delicious.
