1 medium, finely chopped onion

1 lemon-sized ball, soaked in water tamarind

2, dried red chilli

3 cups water

2 medium, chopped tomatoes

Handful, chopped for garnish coriander leaves

1 teaspoon cumin powder

1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder

1-inch piece, grated ginger


Directions

In a bowl, squeeze the soaked tamarind to extract the pulp. Discard the seeds and fibers. Keep the tamarind water aside.

In a pot, heat some oil. Add chopped onions and sauté until translucent. Add chopped tomatoes, cumin powder, turmeric powder, red chillies, and grated ginger. Cook until tomatoes are soft. Add water and tamarind water. Bring to a boil and simmer for 15 minutes.

Once the soup base is cooked, allow it to cool slightly. Blend the mixture to a smooth consistency using a blender or immersion blender. Strain the mixture to remove any solids.

Return the strained soup to the pot. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Simmer for a few more minutes to blend the flavors.
