Tamatar Dhaniye ka shorba

It's raining heavily from last 5-6 days. You can expect rain any time in Bangalore. But this time it was very heavy. The weather is very cool. Both me and my husband was having cough and cold. So soup is a best option in evening time. Some days before we had 'Tamatar Dhaniye ka shorba' in Umerkot restaurant. It was awesome. I tried this on this Sunday eve. Really we felt better … clear throat after having it. It's a tomato soup with lush flavor of fresh coriander leaves and spices.




Ingredients


Chopped Tomatoes - 4 (Medium)


Chopped Onion - 1 (Medium)


Grated Carrot - 1 (Small)


Green chilli - 1-2


Chopped Ginger - 1 teaspoon


Chopped Garlic - 7-8 cloves


Black cardamom (badi elaichi) - 1


Cinnamon (dalchini) - 1" stick


Bay leaves (tej patta) - 1
