Spicy Yogurt Soup Recipes

Ingredients :

1.5 cups natural yogurt, beaten

4 tbsp gram flour

1/2 tsp chili powder

1/2 tsp turmeric

salt, to taste

2-3 green chilies, finely chopped

4 tbsp vegetable oil

4 whole dried red chilies

1 tsp cumin seeds

3-4 curry leaves

3 garlic cloves, crushed

2 inch pieces of fresh root ginger, crushed

fresh coriander leaves, chopped, to garnish

Mix together the yogurt, gram flour, chili powder, turmeric and salt and strain them into a saucepan. Add the green chilies and cook gently for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Be careful not to let the soup boil over.

Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the remaining spices, crushed garlic and fresh ginger until the dried chilies turn black. Pour the oil and the spices over the yogurt soup, cover the pan and leave to rest for 5 minutes off the heat. Mix well and gently reheat for a further 5 minutes. Serve hot, garnished with the coriander leaves.

Serves 4-6

Sugar can be added to this soup to bring out the full flavor. For an extra creamy soup, use Greek-style yogurt instead of natural yogurt. Adjust the amount of chilies according to how you want the soup to be.
