This delicious and filling soup is from ” The Kitchen Diaries” by Nigel Slater. It is a recipe i have intended to cook for years which i finally made during Lockdown 3 in the UK in January 2021. Soothing comfort food at its best. I served some Irish Soda bread alongside , but you don’t really need it unless you are very hungry.

A recipe with Persian influences from the Sindh region of Pakistan to serve with rice and pickles of your choice. The souring ingredient is the dried persian lime which you can get in middle eastern grocers or many supermarkets.
