Tom yom soup

ByPremalatha Aravindhan

Tom yum Soup, the most famous Thai dish.I love the use of aromatic herbs in Thai cooking and of course I am naturally drawn to the irresistible spicy flavors of most Thai dishes.The lemon grass and kaffir lime leaves are must-haves in the soup, I think I could possibly skip galangal but definitely not the lemon grass or lime leaves. 







Ingredients:

2 stalks lemon grass,smash the bottom with the back of a heavy knife before slicing 
4 kaffir lime leaves
2 slices of galangal
2 tomatoes, quartered
1 onion sliced
3 bird’s eye chilli peppers 
 3 button mushrooms, quartered
1/2 tsp Thai red chilli paste
Few coriander leaves
1 tbsp Lime juice 
Salt as needed









Method:

Make Ready the vegetables. 






First bring the Onion,lemon grass, galangal slices,chili,tomato and kaffir lime leaves to a boil in a soup pot with enough water.



                                     Add the Thai Red chili paste and boil them for 5 minutes or till the raw smell goes.



Add salt and mushrooms,let it cook for sometime.Finally add the lime juice.Once added juice don’t cook it for long time.Serve Hot.
