Preparation Time: Under 20 minutes
Cooking Time: Under 20 minutes
Serves: 2 to 3 people

INGREDIENTS:

Carrot - 1/2 ( If small, use 1 no. of carrot)
Cabbage - 1 cup chopped fine
Baby corn - 4 no.s
Sweet corn - 125 gm
Ginger - 1 inch size, chopped fine
Garlic - 2 to 3 pods
Spring Onion - 1/4 cup chopped fine
Turmeric powder - 1/2 teaspoon
Salt - as required
Black pepper powder -1 teaspoon
Water - 3 cups approx.
Butter - 2 tablespoon
Wheat flour - 1.5 tablespoon

METHOD:

1. Wash the vegetables. Cut carrot, cabbage, baby corn in to small pieces. Also take 1.5 tablespoon of sweet corn in the same bowl. Remaining sweet corn you can use it to make corn paste.


2. Chop ginger and garlic in to small pieces. Also chop spring onion in to small pieces.


3. In a mixer, take the remaining sweet corn and add 1 tablespoon of water and grind it into a smooth paste.


4. In a vessel, add butter. Once it melts, add ginger and garlic and fry till they change colour.


5. Now add spring onion and fry for a minute or two.


6. Now add the chopped vegetables. Also add turmeric powder, salt and black pepper powder. Stir fry for two minutes.


7. Now add the corn paste which you prepared in step 3. Stir fry for another 2 minutes.


8. Now add 3 cups of water. Water can be adjusted according to your consistency. Allow it to boil. When it starts to boil, cover the vessel with lid and keep the flame in medium. Let the veggies get cooked for another 15 minutes.



9. In the meantime, in a small cup, take 1.5 tablespoon of wheat flour and add some water to make it like a paste. This will be added to the soup, to give a creamy texture. Usually cornflour is preferred over any other flour for soups. In order to make the soup healthy, I added wheat flour and I dont find much difference in taste.


10. Now add the wheat flour paste to the soup and mix well. Allow it to boil, for another 2 to 3 minutes and you can see the soup gets thicker and more creamy. Now switch off the stove. Add some more black pepper powder if you like. Serve hot !
