Cumin seeds 2 spoons

Coarsely Wet-Grind These:

Goat’s legs 4(ask your butcher to chop it down for you)
Scalion 1
Tomato 1
Cilantro leaves few
Salt
Turmeric 1 pinch

Sesonning:

Cumin seeds 1/2 spoon
Peppercorns 1/4 spoon
Curry leaves few
Oil few spoons.

Method:

Wash and clean goat’s legs. Make sure that your butcher heated the legs over fire and then chopped it. Putting them over fire…..for a while will remove even the finest hair,in case!

Now pressure cook these legs, with limited water. Add salt as well! Around 10-15 whistles will do! Set aside.

In a wide pot/dutch oven, heat oil. Add pepper, cumin and curry leaves. Wait till it pops up.

Add cooked goat’ leg along with its broth, salt and pinch of turmeric to it.

Add powdered spices too. Let this boil really well over low-medium heat! Maybe till all the spices seep into the goat’s legs cum soup liquid.

Remove from heat and serve immediately as a starter. Serves best as a in between- meals.

I prefer this soup during severe cold and cough!
