மஞ்சள் காய்கறி சூப்

By Ganesan Kannan

45 mins Serves 5 Medium Madurai

Turmeric Veg Soup made the Tamil kitchen way with 1 tsp fresh turmeric, grated — light, warming and full of clean, honest flavour.

Ingredients

Method

  1. 1

    Keep 1 tsp fresh turmeric, grated and the rest of the ingredients ready before you start.

  2. 2

    Heat the butter or oil in a heavy pot and sauté the onion until soft and translucent.

  3. 3

    Always pair fresh turmeric with a pinch of pepper and a little fat — that is what makes it work in the body.

  4. 4

    Pour in the stock, bring to a gentle simmer and cook until everything is tender; season with salt and pepper.

  5. 5

    Ladle the turmeric veg soup into bowls and serve piping hot with a wedge of lemon or toasted bread.
