Ingredients -
Bay leaf - 2
Ghee - 2 tsp
Cumin seeds - 1 tsp
Garlic cloves - 3
Green chillies - 1
Milk - 0.5 cup
Oil - 2 tsp
Salt - to taste
Small Onion- 1
Small Tomato - 3
Spinach - 1 bunch
Water - 3 cup
Whole black pepper - 8
Preparation:
Use fresh spinach leaves for that yummy taste.
1) Wash spinach leaves with water and chop them roughly.
2) Crush garlic cloves, chop green chili, onions and tomatoes.
3) Heat oil in a nonstick pan, add black pepper first and 1 pinch hing. Add crushed garlic cloves, green chilies and then onions. After onions are little transparent, add tomatoes.
4)Once tomatoes cook for some time (in 2 mins) add chopped spinach and let it cook in the open pan for some time (4-5 mins). Do not overcook spinach also do not cover the pan otherwise soup will lose its green colour as well as the taste.
5) Once the above cooked mixture is little cold, blend it in the mixer with some water. Do not add all the water now, as it would be difficult to blend the mixture with too much water.
6) Once the mixture is nicely blended, add some water to make the mixture to the soup consistency.
7) Now in another pan, add some ghee, then cumin seeds, 1 pinch of hing, bay leaves and then pour the pureed mixture in the blender. Add salt according to your taste. Add water according to how you want the soup thicker/thinner. Add some milk and let the soup boil and then simmer for some time (2 mins) before serving.
8)Soup is ready to be served. While serving sprinkle some black pepper powder and a dash of cream if you want.
Enjoy this hot yummy and healthy spinach soup.
