Method

1
Heat ghee in a large pot over medium heat and add the sliced onions, stirring frequently until they turn golden brown and soft, about 5–7 minutes.
2
Add the cumin, coriander, and white pepper to the caramelized onions, stirring constantly for 1 minute to bloom the spices and release their aromas.
3
Dice the tomato and add it to the pot, stirring well to combine with the spiced onion mixture and cook for 2 minutes until the tomato begins to soften.
4
Rinse the lentils under cold water and add them to the pot along with 1 litre of water, stirring to combine all ingredients.
5
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 15–20 minutes until the lentils are nearly tender.
6
Add the fresh curry leaf sprigs to the pot and continue simmering for another 5 minutes to infuse their flavour.
7
Squeeze the lime juice into the soup, stirring gently to distribute the citrus throughout and balance the flavours.
8
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lime juice as needed before serving hot.
