Mushroom Soup

Last week daughter was sick and was not able to eat anything because of tonsillitis. I was very hard to see her in pain even to drink water. The only food doctor suggested was to give her warm soup. It was quite painful for her in first two days even to drink liquid. Because she took antibiotics she recovered fast and is able to eat now. For her i learnt to make soups and since last few days everyday i am making soup. The other day  I made mushroom soup as demanded by my daughter. Here goes the mushroom soup recipe.

Coriander powder 1 tbsp
Zeera powder 1/2 tsp
Pepper whole 6-7
Bat leaf 1

Heat oil in a pan, once hot add onions, green chillies,pepper and bay leaves. Fry till onions are brown in colour. Now add tomatoes and fry till oil start coming out of the tomatoes.

Now add the marinated kheema. Mix thoroughly and cover the pan. Usually water is not required when the pan is covered by lid. The kheema will get cooked with its own water and curd.
