Mauritian Style Potato Soup – Kids Version

Did you ever think of making soup with the main ingredient being potato?

Let me tell you that it’s absolutely yummy – it tastes like dal!!!! I promise you that you will love it. I do this dish at home and thought I’ll give it a try with my toddler. I start getting bored with only dal, lentils, greens soup etc… so to bring some variety, check this recipe:

I have used a mixed roasted spices that I call “karisiyon”, I do not know if it is the correct name but it is a mix of anise seeds, mustard, methi seeds and some urad dal. I bought mine from the market but if you do not have it, you can simply use methi seeds (fenugreek seeds)
