Hungry for Indian tastes

Hello, friends, community, and food lovers greetings.

Today, I’m sharing one flavorful Indian soup which is an entry for the @qurator community for the Hive Top Chef. After arriving in India and seeing the fresh, colorful vegetables in the market, I wanted to create something rich in Indian flavors. When I noticed the announcement for @qurator's Top Chef contest focusing on soup, I decided to make this flavorful dish.

This recipe is simple and utilizes vegetable scraps, making it both delicious and nutritious.
In our area, we have a special market day where we can purchase all the vegetables and fruits we need for the week. Many vendors come from different places, and the produce is fresh, reasonably priced, and offers a wide variety of choices. We buy nearly everything we need for a week.

Once we have the vegetables, we clean and separate them into separate packages and keep them in the refrigerator based on daily usage. While cleaning the green vegetables, I save all the cleaned stems and use them as stock for preparing various dishes.


Today I am using the coriander stem stock.
I cleaned those stems and cooked them
The coriander leaves I saved for our week's uses.

8 green beans
2 cauliflower florets
1 tomato
1 small kohlrabi
1 spring onion
