1/4 tsp turmeric
2 cup canned crushed tomatoes
1 1/2 tsp cumin
2 tsp ground coriander

Recipe Preparation
From "Classic Indian Vegetarian and Grain Cooking," by Julie Sahni
(William Morrow).
Wash lentils thoroughly. Place in a pot with 3 cups water and
turmeric. Cook, partially covered, until very tender, about 30
minutes.
Combine lentils and 1 cup water in a deep pot. Whisk to crush some of
the lentils. Add the tomatoes, cumin, ground coriander, cayenne,
onion, garlic and salt and bring to a boil. Lower heat and cook,
partially covered, 10 minutes. Add lemon juice.
Heat oil in a small skillet until hot. Add mustard seeds and cover so
the seeds do not fly out of the pan. When they stop spattering, mix
into soup. Stir in fresh coriander.
Makes 6-8 servings.
Servings: 8

Food Tips of the Week
Dieting made easyOne useful tip is to drink plenty of water. From time to time at some stage in a hectic morning, you guess that you want a snack but in fact you might just need a refreshing glass of water or orange squash. The feelings of needing food and needing a drink are quite similar, but one of the two can lead to a broken diet and the other is ok.
Some low carb diet guidlines:
* Use soya flour or baking mix. When you have to use flour for baked goods, substitute soy flour or a baking mix such as Atkins soy baking mix. Most of the time, you may convert your most popular recipes that use standard wheat flour to use these alternatives.
* It is possible to make wonderful smoothies by using low carbohydrate yogurt. I know, you can't really describe it as cooking, but if you really want smoothies you can make perfectly acceptable alternatives by using low carbohydrate yogurt and fruit. Clearly, you will need to ensure you only make use of fruit that is low in carbs and use the whole fruit as you need the fiber.
Carotenoid foods
(includes parsley, rose hip puree and sweet potatoes)
These orange and green foods are rich in alpha-carotene and beta-carotene thought by doctors to play a role in helping stop cancer, particularly cancers of the stomach and lesophagus. Most are low in calories, so should be included in every weight loss regime.
