Tomato dhaniya shorba

I was going through some of the best recipes for authentic tomato dhaniya shorba. Finally found a good recipe, and I did a few changes according to my family's taste and preferences. Here is what I tried and it tasted very good. 

Ingredients

Tomato dhaniya shorba

500 grams desi tomatoes

4 green cardamom

1 black cardamom

1 inch grated ginger

1/2 inch cinnamon stick

2 red chillies

1 tsp coriander stems

2 tsp coriander leaves chopped

1/2 tsp rock salt

A pinch of hing

1tbsp desi ghee

1/2 tsp fennel seeds

1/2 jeera

1/2 tsp Black pepper

Method

* Wash, cut and puree tomatoes by adding 5 cups of water.

* Pour ghee and give a quick tadka of red chillies, green, black cardamom, cinnamon stick, fennel seeds, black pepper and jeera.

*Pour the tomatoes into a large pan with lid, add salt, grated ginger and pour tadka,coriander stems, bring to boil, reduce flame cook for about 10 minutes.

*Once done use a sieve, strain into another serving bowl, add chopped coriander leaves, serve into transparent small glasses. Serve hot.

Tips

*You can make the shorba in pressure cooker, but I feel doing separate tadka and boiling in a pan had a different flavour and it was a quick shorba.

*Use ripe red desi tomatoes for tangy taste.
