Tomatoes that were selling for Rs.35/kg a month ago now costs 7/kg.To celebrate this I bought loads of tomato from the farmers and am in the process of turning them into delicacies for this months Healing foods with the theme-Tomato being hosted here.Healing foods was started by Siri of Siri's corner to know more about the foods that have a curative property when added to our diet.
So here is one 'healing' soup ,an indianized version-Tamatar Ka Shorba.After going through many variations and varieties,I put in what I had and made this in less than 10 minutes in the microwave.This is yet another simple soup recipe that can be put together in a jiffy.
I used:
Ripe tomatoes-4
Bay leaf-1
Ginger garlic paste-1 teaspoon
Roasted cumin powder-1 teaspoon.
Red chilli powder-1/4 teaspoon
Salt and pepper to taste
Coriander leaves to garnish
- Blanch tomatoes.
- Peel and puree after it cools .
- In a deep microwave proof dish,put in pureed tomato,all the ingredients [except pepper powder and coriander leaves], enough water [to get the consistency of your choice] and microwave on high for 5 minutes or till it starts bubbling.
- Remove the bay leaf and serve hot garnished with pepper powder and coriander leaves.
Srivalli of Cooking 4 all seasons is celebrating the third anniversary of MEC event with the theme 'potluck' and this soup is being sent to MEC and also to her 365 days of MW cooking
