- Salt as per taste
- Red chili powder less than 1/4 tsp (or adjust as per your taste but always add red chili powder after whole soup is ready)
- Water 4-5 cups
- Sugar 1 and half tsp or as per taste
Method:
Gather all the ingredients.
- Saute onions and garam masala.
- Add chopped tomatoes.
- Add water just above the level of tomatoes .
- Cover the lid and let it boil for at least 25 minutes, or if using pressure cooker, wait for a whistle and cook under pressure, on low flame for 10-15 minutes.Put off the flame and let the cooker cool down.
- Remove tejpatta and cloves and blend the remaining contents till smooth.
- Strain it using a soup strainer or colander.
Add water and bring it to boil again
- Keep tasting and seasoning it till u get the right balance of taste.
- You can have it with fried bread croutons or garlic bread or simply roasted bread (butter it first and roast it in MW or on griddle)

If the soup get spicier than what you expect,add some fresh cream (2 tsp) or milk (1/2 cup) and some more sugar if soup gets more diluted , keep it for boiling for some more time, or add 1-2 spoon of cornflour in half cup water and mix it and add this to boiling soup and let it simmer for about 2 minutes
