Creamy Cauliflower Coconut Soup

Cauliflower Coconut Soup
These days I get 20 - 30 minutes to cook our lunch. That's my baby's morning nap time when I try to finish my household work. Today's weather demanded something comforting and I managed to fix up a creamy bowl of cauliflower soup for us.
When my baby is playing around, I do the photography and blogging part. Now comes the time to relax. All set for a walk in the park with my baby. You guys have a great day and I'll see you soon with my next post.

Ingredients:
Cauliflower/Gobi Florets - about 4 cups
Coconut Cream - 200 ml
Onion - 1 medium
Green Onions - 6
Garlic - 2 big cloves
Coriander/Dhania Powder - 1 tsp
Cumin/Jeera Powder - 1 tsp
Black Pepper - 1 tsp
Aamchur/Dry Mango Powder - 1/2 tsp
Turmeric/Haldi - 1/4 tsp
Olive Oil - 2 tbsp
Croutons 
Salt

 How to cook Creamy Cauliflower Coconut Soup:
  • Finely chop onions and garlic. Chop the pale green and white parts of green onions finely. 
  • Heat oil in a big pan. You can use butter as well. Add onions and garlic. Sauté until onions soften. Now add green onions and sauté for a minute. 
  • Next, add all the spices - ground coriander, cumin, turmeric, aamchur and fresh ground black pepper. Sauté for another minute.
  • Lastly, add medium chopped cauliflower florets and toss. Coat the florets well with the spices. Sauté for 2 - 3 minutes, until the florets are slightly roasted.
  • Add 1/2 cup water and salt. Cook it covered until the florets are cooked soft and fall apart.
  • Turn off the heat and puree the florets in small batches. Or you can use an immersion blender as well.
  • Return the pureed cauliflower to the pot and turn on the heat. Add coconut cream and bring it to a boil. Taste for seasonings and your soup is ready.
  • I have used half of a 400 ml can of Coconut cream. You can add more if you like. Or you can use canned coconut milk as well.
Garnish the soup with some chopped green onions or cilantro. For some crunch top the soup with croutons. Enjoy!

Naval Kol Bhaji / Kohlrabi Stir-fry

Green Kohlrabi called as Navalkol in Marathi and Navilkosu in Kannada, belongs to the cabbage family.  My Mom used to make this stir fry very often.  Just like cabbage, this vegetable in available in two colors - green and purple.  I was quite hesitant about the purple one, as I haven't seen that back in India.  Anyway, I picked the green bulbs and Navalkohl Bhaji with Chana Dal was part of our healthy vegetarian meal today.

Indian Dal / Lentils

Lentils, known as Dal are a staple in an Indian diet, especially vegetarian. For me, dal is comfort food. 5 different dal varieties - Toor, Moong, Chana, Masoor and Urad are commonly used in Indian sweet and savory delicacies. You can cook dal with just one kind or a mix of two or more. I generally cook dal with 1:1 Toor and Moong dals. But then, we like Panchmel or Panchratna Dal too, which is made of all five. Most dal recipes have Toor dal as the primary ingredient. It is also known as Toovar or Arhar dal or Split Pigeon Peas . Some of our family favorite dal recipes are Dalitoy (Konkani Dal)  Tadka Dal Among all lentils, moong dal and masoor dal take lesser time to cook. Moong dal is also known as Split Green Gram or Split Mung Bean . Moong dal is also used in making sweet dishes like Mung Dal Kheer  Mung Dal Puranpoli Chana dal is also known as Split Bengal Gram or Split Chickpeas . Chana Dal takes a little more time to cook as compared to toor dal....
