Clean and soak lentils in water for about an hour.

Remove the blanched tomatoes to a dish and then remove the skin of the tomatoes. Because of the slits it will be easy to peel the skin.
* Step 4
Chop the blanched and peeled tomatoes.
* Step 5
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil to a heavy bottomed saucepan and saute chopped onion for 2-3 minutes.
* Step 6
When the onion changes colour to pink, add in 1/2 teaspoon garlic paste and saute for one more minute. Then add in the soaked and drained lentils.

Stir for a couple of minutes in medium heat and then add in spices like black pepper powder, cumin-coriander powder, dry ginger powder and salt.

Stir and fry for a minute, then add in 3 cups of hot water. Cover and cook in medium heat until lentils cook completely.

Chop coriander stems and leaves thinly.
* Step 10
When lentils cook completely, add in the chopped tomatoes and chopped coriander stems.
* Step 11
Cover and cook again for 5 minutes and then add in boiled chick peas and boiled kidney beans.
* Step 12
Also add in tomato paste and a pinch of saffron colour for a nice colour.
* Step 13
Mix everything well, check the consistency and seasoning of the soup. Add hot water if you think the consistency should be thin.
* Step 14
Take 2 teaspoons of all-purpose flour with 2 tablespoons of hot water and mix well.
