Thoroughly rinse the urad dal and chana dal under running water in a fine-meshed strainer and set aside to drain.

Heat a large saucepan or wok over medium-high heat. When hot, add the olive oil, wait a few moments, then swirl around to coat the pan. Toss in the dals, brown mustard seeds, cumin seeds, dried red chili, asafoetida and curry leaves.

As soon as the mustard seeds begin to pop, less than a minute and as little as a few seconds, add the green chilis and stir for a few seconds. Now stir in the cabbage, green peas and water.

(Kuracia polievka) Chicken Soup

• 2 chicken breasts*
• 2 carrots
• 1 parsnip root
• 1/4 celery bulb
• 1 onion
• 1 bunch fresh parsley
• salt
• black pepper

* NOTE: My mum puts chicken intenstines into the soup instead of breasts. It is a great way of using chicken leftovers. If using, boil the intenstines first (for abt 40 min) and then towards the end, add the chopped veggies.

Clean the breasts and pat dry. Wash and peel the root veggies and cut into big bite-sized pieces. Peel and halve the onion. Organize the parsley into a buquet and tie a piece of thread around it.

Bring about a litre of water to boil together with the meat and veggies. Throw in the parsley buquet and cook on low heat until the carrots are soft.

Take the chicken pieces out and break into smaller pieces. Put back to the soup, adjust salt and pepper to taste.
