Ingredients
- 6 Tomatoes Roma or Plum Tomatoes - Medium sized
- 3 Green Chillies Add more or less as per taste
- 2 tbsps Ghee or Avocado Oil (for Vegans)
- 1 tsp Cumin Seeds
- 1 tsp Asafoetida or Hing
- 1 tsp Himalayan Sea Salt adjust as per taste
- 1 twig Curry leaves Optional
- Black pepper for garnish

Instructions
- Chop tomatoes into big chunk size pieces
- Slit the green chillies from the centre
- Put these into a pressure cooker or Instant Pot and add 1.5 cups of water or until it reaches upto 3/4th level of the tomatoes (the tomatoes will leave in some water too so be careful not to add too much water)
- Cook for 3 whistles on a medium high flame for a pressure cooker & turn off the stove and let cool completely
- If using an Instant Pot transfer the chopped tomatoes and chillies in the pot, close the lid and set to the ‘pressure cook’ function for 10 minutes - Let cool completely
- Next run the boiled tomatoes & chillies along with the water through a blender and turn it into a red liquid mix
- Now run the liquid mix through a sieve to strain out the tomato pulp
- If you observe the strained soup at this stage its quite thick – so add 1/2 cup water – you can also add a little less (1/4th cup) or more 3/4th cup to adjust the consistency as per your liking
- Next heat up a stockpot and when adequately hot – add 2 tablespoons of ghee or avocado oil
- Once the ghee is hot add cumin seeds and once they start crackling in add the asafoetida
- Next drop in the soup mix slowly into the ghee mix (make sure you don’t burn yourself)
- Add sea salt as per taste and curry leaves (if using) – stir well to combine
- Increase the flame/stove to high and let it reach a boil
- Next reduce the to stove to medium high and cook for 5-7 minutes – stirring in between
- The consistency of the soup should thicken a bit
- After 5-7 minutes turn the stove to high for one last vigorous boil before you turn it off
- Garnish with black pepper and coriander leaves
- Serve hot
