Notes

  • Use fresh vegetables - Fresh veggies have the best taste and nutrition. I have used carrot, green peas. You can use frozen veggies too.
  • Soup comsistency - Add hot water or milk before serving if the soup becomes too thick.
  • Mash or blend - Use a hand blender for a creamy soup, or just mash with a ladle for a chunky texture. You can even use a mixer to blend for a more smooth texture.
  • Don’t use a mixer grinder - Blending in a mixer can make the soup too pasty and change its taste. If using just pulse it do not grind it.
  • Add herbs - Oregano or mixed herbs make the soup more aromatic and tasty.
  • Cook millet just right - Pressure cook millet until soft, but not mushy, for the best texture. You can even use open pot to cook millets.
  • Serve hot - This soup tastes best when served with a sprinkle of pepper.
