This recipe is what I name my “dump” soup. I simply dump all the pieces into the Instantaneous Pot and after 11 minutes of cooking, I’ve a scrumptious, nutritious, protein wealthy soup. The flavour of the soup “as is” is already good, however once I add just a little curry powder, it takes the flavors up a giant notch!
IMPORTANT
I add the curry powder after cooking as a result of my husband HATES the scent and the style of the curry powder. I would not dare add it to the whole pot of soup whereas cooking as a result of the fragrant oils in these spices could be launched into the whole apartment. Our clothes and furnishings, curtains and apartment would most likely scent like curry.
What precisely is curry powder made from?
It’s a spice ceaselessly utilized in Indian cooking that may be a mixture of spices corresponding to floor turmeric, floor coriander, floor cumin, black pepper, floor dry mustard, cardamom, fenugreek, and cinnamon.
I’ve learn that the fragrant spices corresponding to those I discussed above launch unstable oils that permeate and linger within the air, furnishings, curtains for a very long time.
I’d skip the curry altogether, but it surely does actually style good!
Wash Instantly
Personally, I discover that the “odor” is enormously decreased in the event you solely add the curry powder to every bowl (versus cooking with them) after which just be sure you wash the bowl instantly after dinner. By no means go away it in a single day to soak.
Vinegar and Water
I additionally learn that you would be able to put out some bowls of vinegar and water (50/50) within the kitchen to assist soak up among the robust fragrant oil smells given off by the spices.
