I have become addicted to a red lentil soup from Vij's cookbook. I love the idea of varying the recipe with barley added. This looks good.

Thanks for the nice video, 2 suggestions for improvements.

1) Post a list of the ingredients either at the beginning or end of the video, or even better on the Notes part so people can read and copy whenever they need it.

2) Put the title of the food you are cooking 1st and then your name, because it makes it hard to search, especially down the road if you are planning to have more videos.

Thanks much for this recipe.

I tried it a few days ago with success.

ITs a bit on the mild side in terms of spices used but still tasty.

Thanx
