Soup
|
| 5
cobs of fresh corn |
| 5
cups water |
| 1
inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and chopped fine |
| 1
heaping tablespoon cilantro leaves, chopped |
| 1/4
cup water |
| 2
tablespoons ghee |
| 1
teaspoon cummin seeds |
| 1/4
teaspoon black pepper |
| 1
pinch salt |
Method
of Preparation
Cut
the corn off the washed cobs to make about 4 cups. Put the
corn in a blender with 2 cups of the water and blend until creamy.
Pour into a bowl and set aside. Now put the ginger, cilantro and
1/4 cup water into the blender and liquefy for 1 minute. Heat a
soup pot on medium heat and add the ghee and cummin seeds.
When the seeds pop, add the blended spices, blended corn and the
black pepper. Add the rest of the water and mix well. Boil gently
until tender, about 15- 20 minutes, uncovered. Stir occasionally.
Add salt just before serving. Garnish with cilantro leaves. Add
black pepper to taste. Corn soup is a good breakfast food. Corn
Soup balances tridosha, but its long-term effect is drying
for vata. So vata
can eat occasionally and pitta
in moderation cilantro helping remove some of the heat
for pitta.
Note
This
is a good food for people with high cholesterol or who are suffering
from obesity as long
as they cook it without the ghee..
