Mushroom Ragi Soup
Ingredients
1 tsp cooking oil
4-5 cloves garlic, minced
2 onions, finely chopped
400g mushrooms, sliced
¼ cup ragi (finger millet) flour
1 vegetable stock cube
Spices to taste: thyme, oregano, black pepper, and salt
Water (approx. 3-4 cups, divided)
200g firm tofu (or low-fat paneer), cubed
Instructions
1. Heat the oil in a large pan or pot over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
2. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they soften and become translucent.
3. Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their water and begin to brown.
4. In a small bowl, whisk the ragi flour with about ½ cup of water to create a smooth, lump-free slurry.
5. Pour the ragi slurry into the pan. Add the vegetable stock cube, thyme, oregano, salt, black pepper, and an additional 2.5 to 3.5 cups of water, depending on your preferred soup consistency.
6. Stir well to combine, bringing the soup to a gentle boil. Let it simmer for 5 minutes so the broth thickens and the raw flavor of the ragi cooks out.
7. Gently stir in the cubed tofu or low-fat paneer and let it simmer for another 1-2 minutes until heated through.
