Tomato Soup

Seeing Vegan Ventures event in Suganya's Tasty Palettes , I thought this is the perfect oppurtunity for me to post this recipe. I got this recipe from my neighbour Lalitha who also has given so many recipes which are yet to be posted. I thank her for giving me so many recipes which are a great hit in my house.




This is my entry for Vegan Ventures.

Method:
Dunk the tomatoes in hot water and peel. Grind the blanched tomatoes,cloves,cinnamon,garlic pods together . keep a broad pan in the stove and pur the ground tomatoes in it. Add 2 glassess of water.

Then mix the corn flour in the water and pour it in the soup and let it boil for few minutes. Add finely chopped coriander leaves and serve hot.
