Carrot – one of my comfort ingredients (in juice, chutney, salad or soup). It is quite simple to incorporate into any of your dishes. Some carrots give a different taste depending on its origin. I love what we get in this season – the Delhi carrot. It gives nice color and taste. I also love the Australian version (organic or non-organic). This soup is simple to make and the butter in it will keep you full for a long time.
Ingredients
Carrot – 1-2 (depending on size)
Salt to taste
Butter – 2 teaspoons
All-purpose flour – 1 tablespoon
Bay leaves – 1
clove – 2
star spice – 1
few dry drumstick seeds
Mint leaves – 10-13

Garlic – 3-4

Cumin seeds – 1 teaspoon
Red chilies – 2
Small onion/ shallots – 5
Coriander leaves – 1 tablespoon
