Steps:

  • To begin making the Burmese Samosa Soup Recipe, first add all the dals in a pressure cooker with sufficient water and cook until soft. Release the pressure naturally and mash the dal, keep aside.
  • In a wide wok, heat one teaspoon of oil and splutter the cumin seeds, add the broken red chillies, finely chopped green chillies, grated ginger and saute until the raw smell disappears.
  • Add chopped pearl onions and cook until slightly golden.
  • Next add the coriander powder, red chilli powder, garam masala powder, pepper powder, turmeric powder and roast them for a minute on low heat.
  • Add vegetable stock into the wok and bring it to a boil. Add the mashed dal, tamarind extract and salt to taste. Be careful with the salt since vegetable stock will have some salt in it.
  • Cook this for 7-8 minutes or until you smell a flavourful broth, now add the coconut milk and cook for 2-3 minutes.
  • To this, add the finely chopped veggies including onions, cabbage, sprouts and cook until the veggies and sprouts are soft but not mushy.
  • Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and turn off the heat.
  • To serve, place whole or broken samosa into a soup bowl, pour the broth over the samosas and top with all the fresh veggies, fried onions and serve with a wedges of lemon.
  • Burmese Samosa Soup is a heavy meal by itself. Make it a feast by serving this soup along with a dessert like Caramel Apple Trifle Recipe or Rich Dark Chocolate Mousse Recipe to end your meal on a sweet note.
