Here goes one more healthy and easy to make soup recipe.
These days I just love soups. Its very boring to have the same soups again and again. So I try a variety of them.
Once I had seen carrot soup recipe on some TV show. When I tried it, I did not like the taste. It had a very strong flavour of carrots. But then while searching in the net for something, I found this recipe. It came out very delicious.
Ingredients: Carrot 2 big Tomatoes 2 Pepper 1/2 tea spn Butter 1 tea spn Salt
Method: Cut carrots and tomatoes into big pieces. Cook them with one cup of water in pressure cooker or microwave until they are completely cooked. Cool and blend in a blender to a smooth paste (I dont strain the soup, because I feel straining will remove all the fibres from the soup). Bring the mixture to boil adding 2 cups of water. Add salt and pepper. Serve hot garnished with butter.
Serves : 3 Preparation time : 20min
In last few days, the number of Konkani visitors to my blog as well as Konkani recipe requests have significantly increased. So I have realized that, I am moving away from the basic idea of my blog. So now on, for few days, I am going to blog about very specific Konkani recipes.
We prepare two specific type of fish curries. One is called Kande Ambat (Onion curry) and other is Teppla ambat (Curry using teppal ). But for mackerel( bangda ) gravy, we add ginger too and call it alle kande ambat (ginger onion gravy).
Ingredients: 1 cup fresh/frozen coconut 3/4 cup onion 7-8 fish pieces 1/2 tea spn tamarind extract or kokum 1 green chili 5-6 red chilies 2" piece ginger Oil Salt
Method: Grind together coconut, red chillies, tamarind(if using kokum, add them later when the gravy is boiling) and 1" piece of ginger to a very smooth paste. Heat oil,fry chopped onion and remaining ginger(cut into small pieces) till they turn slightly brownish. Add the ground masala , green chili(slitted into two) and salt. Cook for 5min.
