Notes about this recipe

    I feel this needs some spice, particularly as the carrots and coconut are so sweet. As PennyBarr suggested, I'd add a chopped chilli if making again. I added a lot more water than the recipe suggested (this seems to be a common theme for this book). At least an extra 800ml in a double batch, and the consistency is very nice now.

    Makes a lovely soup without need for coconut milk or cream. I added a little chopped fresh green chilli at the onion stage. I find all key timings need to be adjusted. First stage of simmering is at least 30’, not 20. Second stage likewise - after 20’ diced carrots and lentils still uncooked. Secondly - the second stage of simmering just doesn’t work - there isn’t enough liquid left in the recipe to cook the lentils and carrots properly. Ended up liquidising the whole lot a second time - which made a lovely soup, if quite different from the original description!
