Directions
This soup is from an Indian chef who moved to Canada and brought the flavors and aromas of India’s native southern region of Kerala. Southern cuisine is clearly evident in this soup, using only coconut oil and coconut milk.
Let me warn you right away, the soup is spicy and sweet. It’s sweeter than we are used to, an Indian soup in a word. All the ingredients in it, such as sweet potatoes, carrots and coconut milk, give it the sweetness.
You can use pumpkin instead of sweet potatoes. The soup can be served by leaving the vegetables in chunks or chopping them with a little immersion blender, as in the photo.
In the photo, the soup is sprinkled with dried fenugreek leaves. If you can find it, it will be a super accent of taste. If not, no problem, sprinkle with herbs. You can also sprinkle with the garam masala spice mix.
Bon Appétit!
