Homemade Tomato shorba (Tomato soup)

Having slurpy shorba (soup) is winter or rains is just an awesome thing.. With the chill a few days ago, and in the midst the rains i decided to make it as per a long pending request from my hubby's granny. Simple yet delicious, my 2 year old loves slurping on this as well.


Preparation time: 5 minutes
Cooking time: 25 minutes
Serves: 5


Ingredients: 

1. Tomatoes 6-8 big ones
2. Bay leaf 1
3. Cinnamon sticks 1 inch
4. Clove pods 4
5. Pepper corns 7-8
6. Fresh cream 5-6 tbsp
7. Water
10. Corn flour 2 tbsp


Method: 

1. Blanch the tomatoes in water till they peel off their skin. Add the bay leaf also for that extra flavour.
2. Once done, cool them down.
3. Grind the tomatoes along with clove pods, cinnamon sticks, pepper corns to a fine paste.
4. Now sieve it and boil the residue.
5. Add salt and serve hot after garnishing with fresh cream.


If you want a thinner consistency for shorba, add a little water while grinding, else grind without water.
