Black Bean Soup

Subtly flavoured comfort – that describes this traditional Mexican soup best of all. Prepared easily with a pressure-cooked blend of black beans and other ingredients, the Black Beans Soup is a wholesome dish that you will love to slurp up. You will be amazed by how hung curds works even better than the stereotyped choice of fresh cream in garnishing this satiating soup.

Preparation Time: 10 minutes. Cooking Time: 15 minutes. Serves 3.

½ cup black beans, soaked for 5 hours and drained
2 tsp oil
¼ cup finely chopped onions
2 tsp chopped garlic (lehsun)
1 cup roughly chopped tomatoes
Salt to taste

For the garnish
2 tbsp hung curds (thick dahi)

1. Heat the oil in a pressure cooker, add the onions and garlic and sauté on a medium flame for 2 minutes.
2. Add the tomatoes, black beans, 1½ cups of water and salt, mix well and pressure cook for 3 whistles.
3. Allow the steam to escape before opening the lid.
4. Allow it to cool a little and blend in a mixer till smooth.
5. Transfer the mixture into a deep pan, add ¼ cup of water, mix well and cook on a medium flame for 3 to 4 minutes, while stirring occasionally.
Serve hot garnished with hung curds.
