Instructions

1. Cut the chicken into small cubes and season with salt, finely chop the onions and garlic. Melt a tablespoon of butter in the pan and sear the meat well on all sides, keep warm - the pan (including the frying residues!) Will be used: steam onions and garlic with half a tablespoon of butter - as soon as they become translucent, add the ginger puree and brown everything . Now add the almond flour, turmeric and coriander, fry for half a minute, stirring constantly, and then deglaze with a cup of the broth.
2. Prepare the soup: Put the mixture from the pan, the fried chicken cubes, the lentils and the rest of the chicken stock in a saucepan and bring to the boil. Cook over medium heat for about 1 hour until the lentils are soft and tasty. Meanwhile, boil the eggs hard, quench, peel and quarter them. The soup is bound by finely pureing about a third of the lentils with a little broth in a bowl with the hand blender and stirring them back into the rest of the soup together with the beaker of cream and the garam masala. Warm everything up again for 5 minutes, but don`t let it boil anymore. Distribute the eggs evenly in the soup plates or bowls and pour the soup over them.
3. This goes well with naan bread (Indian flatbread) and a delicious white wine.
