Dal Soup, Anyone?

This image of Dal Soup is courtesy of Jeen and Michiel, who have made two dishes as part of the latest Cookbook Confidential Challenge!

Madhur Jaffrey was a trailblazing Chef who introduced the flavors of India to the rest of the world…thanks to Bernadette’s terrific “Cookbook Confidential” series, many of us are making Jaffrey’s food for the first time!

Bernadette does a terrific job overseeing this cookbook challenge, and says this:

That dish was part of my yearlong “52 In 22” cooking challenge…many turn ed out well, but one of my disastrous efforts was when I tried to make Chef Michael Ruhlman’s “Mollet Egg”:

Is this the way it was supposed to turn out – and can you really bread a soft boiled egg while cupping it in your hand?
