Tomato Soup ( टोमँटो सूप )


A very common and usual recipe .. but.. thought may be helpful for few ..:)

Preparation Time: 15 Minutes
Coking Time:10 minutes

Ingredients:
3-4 medium sized tomatoes. Pick up nice red fresh tomatoes.
Grated Ginger
Red chilli powder to taste
Salt to taste
1-1.5 Table spoon Corn Flour
water
For Tempering==>
Curry leaves
Cumin Seeds(Jeera)
1 or 2 Small spoon Ghee/तुप

Procedure:
  1. Boil the tomatoes in pressure pan/cooker for about 5-6 whistles.
  2. After the cooker cools down, take out the tomatoes and remove the skin of tomatoes.Grind the tomatoes along with grated ginger in the mixer( If you want only flavor of the ginger , can avoid grinding it together with tomatoes and add it while boiling).
  3. Pour this mixture through a strainer and sieve it finely.As much as possible, take out the puree properly.Throw the tomato sediment after filtering . . seeds etc stuff..You will get fine tomato puree.
  4. Heat the ghee in the pan.Put the cumin seeds/jeera ; when they splutter, put curry leaves.
  5. Now pour the tomato puree in it. After one small boil, add little hot/warm water in it .Just to have a consistency in soup. Just enough water so that it wouldn't be watery or thick.
  6. Stir well.
  7. Add salt to taste,little sugar, red chili powder and stir well again.
  8. In a small bowl, take little water( normal temperature water 3-4 table spoon) and mix the corn flour in it.Remove all the lumps; it should be a smooth fluid. While adding this corn flour thing, stir the mixture well.
  9. Let it cook for 5-8 minutes, once you see the consistency, you can remove it and serve hot hot.

hi
Nice recipe!!!
but I would like to suggest somethings which i have learnt from some TV shows and books etc.
Instead of boiling the t omatos in cooker u can boil them in the pan.I think this gives better colour.(haven't tried, but heard).
Also a pinch of sugar will make recipe taste even good.
