Ingredients
- 1 kg beef with marrow bones
- 2 medium sized onions, finely chopped
- 2 medium sized tomatoes, quartered
- 5-6 cups water (1 cup = 250ml)
- 1 inch ginger, cut julienne (for garnish)
- chopped coriander, for garnish
- 2-3 teaspoons of ghee, for garnish
- salt to taste
For the masala/marinade:
- 1/2 cup coriander leaves
- 1/2 cup mint leaves
- 15 peppercorns - adjust to taste
- 2 green chillies - adjust to taste
- 3-4 fat cloves of garlic, peeled
- 1 inch piece of ginger
- juice of 1/2 lime
- 1/4 teaspoon garam masala powder
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Wash and drain the marrow bones. Grind all the ingredients mentioned under 'For the Masala' to a coarse paste using a little water. Apply this paste to the meat and transfer everything to a pressure cooker. Place the marrow bones at the bottom so that they don't bob up.
- Add the finely chopped onions & the quartered tomatoes and about 5-6 cups of water (depending on how thick/clear you wish your soup to be). Adjust salt to taste (remember you have already added salt to the marinade)
- Pressure cook on a full heat for about 20-25 mins or till the meat is tender. Garnish with chopped coriander, ghee and ginger julienne and serve piping hot with croutons/garlic bread/baguette slices or plain bread.
