Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Chop all the vegetables (onion, tomato, carrot, potato, green bell pepper) and set aside. Mince the garlic and ginger.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  2. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Add the chicken pieces to the pot and cook until they are no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 4

    Add Spices

    Stir in the turmeric powder, cumin seeds, coriander powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.

  4. 5

    Add Vegetables

    Add the chopped onion, tomato, carrot, potato, and green bell pepper to the pot. Stir well to combine.

  5. 6

    Add Liquid

    Pour in the water or chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 30 minutes.

  6. 7

    Final Touch

    Once the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Remove from heat.

  7. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Ladle the Shorba into bowls, garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves, and serve hot.
