OX TAIL SOUP








This is one of our family favourite winter soups. Even Though we are in mid spring we had very cold weather last few days. So I made this couple of  weekends ago.


INGREDIENTS




Oxtail cut into pieces (about 750g)
6 cups of water
1  brown or purple onion
2 tbs butter

1 stalk of leek (I prefer the white part)
1 can of tomato
1 carrot
1 potato
1/4 cup of lentils
1 bay leaf, 5/6 curry leaves







Oxtail has  to be cut into pieces. Fry the oxtail in butter for couple of minutes then add the sliced onions,bay leaf and curry leaves continue to fry until onions are slightly brown.


















Then add the leeks and fry for another minute. When the leeks are softened add the carrots, potato, lentils and can of tomato.



























 Add six cups of water and cook for about 50 mts.in pressurecooker,if you are cooking on top of a  stove top cook for about 11/2 rs or until soup is thick and gelatinous.
