DELICIOUS LENTIL LAMB SOUP

My home town is celebrating the most happening autumnal festival of the year the Durga Puja. Previously it was celebrated as a religious festival but as days passed it has taken the shape of carnival and irrespective of caste creed and language everyone celebrate the occasion, where Mother Nature is worshipped as the symbol of power who eradicate all evils of the earth and bless us with peace, harmony, love and happiness.This is the time when all friends and relative visit each other’s house and share the eternal bonding of love. As I was busy enjoying this festive mood I can’t update my blogs but thanks to all of you my friends who have taken time to visit my blog regularly.Today I will like to share a delicious soup that I have tasted in a road side restaurant with 25 of my friends, the most surprising thing is that they prepared it in just 20 minutes, in front of us. I still trying to make out the magic as they were not equipped with any modern cooking device, any way it taste delicious. They use goat meat to cook this dish you can use lamb if you don’t like the taste or goat meat is not available. Cook it and I assure, you will love it but it may take a bit more time than they did . No more words let go straight to the recipe.
