Author Notes
This recipe is from Madhur Jaffrey's "World of the East Vegetarian Cooking" the book that saved my life in the late '70's. I made it this evening and my kids said it reminded them of callaloo. Well, it's not callaloo but if you're far from T&T, and have no source for dashin, this will get you through a cold winter night! Note: it may seem like a lot of garlic, but it cooks down and adds a sweetness to the soup. I serve it with salad and a crusty bread. —Tashipluto
