Number Of Ingredients 19

7 medium sized red tomatoes, roughly chopped
1 medium sized onion, roughly chopped
1 medium carrot, roughly chopped
6 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons grated ginger
½ lemon
8 black peppercorns
2 teaspoons coriander seed
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
cinnamon stick, 1.5 cm (1/2 in)
4 cloves
2 cardamom pods
2 teaspoons oil
2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons sugar
¼ teaspoon red chilli powder
¼ cup coriander
4 cups water
fresh cilantro

Steps:

In a large saucepan, roast the spices (peppercorns, coriander seeds , cumin , cinnamon sticks , cloves , cardamom pods) in oil until slightly golden brown and aromatic .
To the saucepan, add ginger and garlic until the raw smell goes off for 3-4 min on medium heat. To this, add onions and carrots. Saute until onions turn translucent.
Add tomatoes and coriander / cilantro stems. Mix them well. Then, add 1.5 cups water - simmer the mixture until tomatoes are completely cooked and mushy- about 10 minutes on medium flame.
Add the remaining 2.5 cups of water and let simmer for 10 more minutes. Then, let the mixture cool. Once cooled, grind mixture into a fine paste and pass through a sieve to collect the liquid, which is the soup.
Boil the soup until hot.
Serve hot with garlic bread.
