    Last time I made this with the more commonly available (locally) brown horsegram. I found some black horsegram recently, so am making it again. Always delicious. I add chilli to the recipe.

    Wow, a beautiful shorba - a North Indian broth-like soup generally consumed in smaller amounts than we might consume a non-Indian soup, and eaten before or during a main course (it can vary in different countries where shorba is common). This one from Himachal Pradesh uses the beautiful lentil horse gram, a much loved favourite here. It is a wintery weather dish - I added a tiny bit of chilli and a good amount of black pepper to amp up the mustard and heat. The recipe equates horse gram and channa dal, but they are different lentils entirely. Horse gram is the protein-packed lentil. It is likely to work with either but Gahat means horse gram. I also left the soup somewhat chunky with tomatoes and onions, but it can also be blended for a beautiful thick broth.
