Navratri Special- Tomato Soup

This soup is similar to the tomato oats soup but instead of oats we add Makhana. Makhana is also know as Euryale ferox and is prepared from lotus seeds.

The nature of the soup is thick so its great as a mini meal or as a part of the main meal.

Here are the ingredients

1. Tomatoes.

2. Carrot (if you do not eat carrots in fast then leave it).

3. 1 bowl roasted Makhanas.

4. 1 tsp sugar (optional)

5. Salt and black pepper to taste.

6. Finely chopped paneer piece - 1 fist (optional).



Procedure

1. Pressure cook tomatoes and carrot and grind.

2. Grind the makhan to a coarse powder and mix water to make a paste. Keep aside.



3. Now mix the makhana paste to the soup and keep heating. Add salt, sugar black pepper to taste.




4. Sprinkle paneer pieces and let it boil for 5 minutes till paneer becomes soft.

5. Serve Hot and Enjoy.

 

Hahahaha, no I am not. A little sugar always gets out more flavor in the soup.

Thanks for liking the soup. If you can get hold of makhanas then they are great snack options. They taste yum and have real less calories.

Have a great day ahead.

Dear Shabeena08,

Makhanas are lotus seeds. They have nutritional value and make for a great snack. They are light in nature and 100gm have approx 300 calories.

You can think of them as pop corns. To eat them as snack you will need to roast them till they turn crisp in a very slight amount of ghee and then add salt and black pepper.

Hope this helps.

Have a great day ahead.

regards

Shiva
