- Meanwhile, cut the potatoes and carrots into small pieces.
- Add the potato and carrot pieces to the saucepan and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Rinse the lentils and stew them for a while.
- Moisten with the vegetable stock. Season with salt and pepper. Let the soup simmer for 30 minutes until the lentils are done. Stir occasionally so the dahl does not burn.

- At the last, add the garam masala.
- Mixed the soup briefly but not all the way through and add another handful of fresh spinach.
