Steps to make Gahat Kulath Soup

Step 1

Soak the horse gram lentils overnight. You need to soak them for at least 8-10 hours. Make sure you add enough water so that the lentils get soaked properly. However, do not soak in very less water either, the grams might be left unsoaked.

Step 2

The next day, drain the water left in the bowl. Then take the soaked Gahat grain and boil them. You can use a cooker or a pan to boil the Gahat grain. Boil the grains with garam masala. 

Step 3

After the Gahat grains are thoroughly boiled, take them out of the pan and keep aside. You can squeeze the grains to check if they are properly boiled. Once they are, separate the boiled dal and water. 

Step 4

Take a mixer and add the boiled Gahat dal to the mixer. Grind the dal in the mixer properly. You can use traditional methods to grind the dal like grindstone. Grind and keep aside the dal.

Step 5

Take a large pan and heat it for some time. Add the boiled dal water to the pan. Adding the dal water will ensure that you have not missed and lost on any nutrients behind. Add ginger and garlic water to the boiled water. Further, add salt, black pepper and half the dal paste. 

Step 6

Heat the mixture for about 5-6 minutes. Make sure you stir the soup continuously. Heat the soup on a medium flame. After thorough boiling, take the soup in a bowl. You can garnish it with cream. Your Gahat Kulath soup is ready to be served.
