Indo Chinese veg manchow soup
This is an Indo Chinese style soup, so it must have Indian touch without compromising Chinese flavor. So here many Indian flavors/spices are not used like any other Indian dish. Rather a lot of seasonal vegetables are used in this soup. Here mushroom, green peas, green beans and carrot are used. But how to bring that color and strong flavor?
It should look dark and a strong garlic flavor must come out along with other spices. So enough garlic cloves, ginger, tomato and onion are fried in oil and blend in a mixer grinder to make a smooth puree. You can fry garlic cloves little extra to bring a strong flavor of garlic. But if you do not like garlic flavor then you can reduce the quantity, that is why many people love to cook at home so that they can give a personal touch to their favorite dishes. Add some soya sauce to bring more dark color and nice flavor. Mix your puree and vegetables, fry for few minutes and boil in water for another few minutes. Now you can adjust the thickness of your veg manchow soup by adding cornstarch.
