Inspiration for this recipe came from Jamie Oliver’s South Indian Rice and Seafood Soup. I have been exploring recipes from my favourite chefs to see how many of our specialty spice blends can be used instead of the many different spices listed in a lot of recipes, and am so excited about this variation. I’m a firm believer in not reinventing the wheel, but to show how our spice blends can be substituted as the flavour base for many different recipes. For this recipe I’ve used our Curry Indian lentil (dahl).

  • 2 tbsp The Spice People’s Curry Lentil Dahl spice mix
  • 1 cup green puy lentils or basmati rice
