I prefer to use my pressure cooker for this recipe, heat up some Oil and add in the Onions and Chilli to sweat
Add in the finely chopped Ginger & Garlic and allow it to cook
Add in the Curry leaves, but first cut them into thin strips with a scissors
Add in the Beef cubes and all the powdered spices and saute
Add the Tomato & Tamarind Pulp. This pulp is made my soaking Tamarind in a cup of hot water first.
Add the Lentils and the Beans
Add the Beef stock and pressure cook for 12 mins
Once done open the pressure cooker and add the Celery, Red & Green Pepper, Carrots & Leeks
Add the Oregano and Tomato puree and mix
Allow the veggies to cook for a few mins
Add the Black Pepper
Finally add in the Apples, cooked Rice and finish off with Coconut Milk and Coriander.
A little tip is using Organic coconut milk , it’s a good idea to beat it a little but first so it’s smooth in the soup.
Some recipes call for the soup to be blended - I prefer my soup to be somewhat clear with a myriad of textures and flavours - try it you won’t be disappointed.
