GREEN GRAM SOUP

Preparation Method :

• Pressure-cook the green gram along with water and the salt until done. Allow to cool, then grind to a smooth puree.
• Strain and add water, stirring to make a thin mixture. Set aside.
• Heat the oil in a kadai. Add the cumin seeds and, when they begin to change colour, add the spring onions and ginger, and saute on a medium heat for 30 seconds.
• Add the chillies and continue to saute for another 30 seconds.
• Stir in the gram mixture and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat, add the lemon juice and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes.
• Add the vermicelli and simmer for another minute.
• Pour the soup into serving bowls and serve hot.
