👨‍🍳 Instructions

2. 2Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to a pan on medium heat. Once hot, add onions and minced ginger-garlic and mix well. Sauté for 2 more minutes or until fragrant. After that, cashews and add green chili and cashews and sauté for a minute. Add spinach leaves and mix well. Sauté until the spinach wilts.
3. 3Once done, transfer it to a bowl and let it cool. Once cooled, add it to a blender jar along with some water and blend until smooth. Heat the same pan over medium heat. Melt butter/olive oil in it. Once melted, turn the heat to low and add all-purpose or wheat flour. Stir & cook the flour for 2-3 minutes on medium low heat. Then add milk gradually in batches while stirring well to avoid the formation of any lumps, stir & cook on medium flame for a few minutes.
4. 4Add salt, and freshly crushed black pepper powder and stir well. Taste & adjust the seasoning as per your taste. Pour in the puree directly or through a sieve and mix everything well. Let it simmer 3-4 minutes. Let the flavors of the spices get infused with the sauce. At this point, you can adjust the consistency of soup by adding hot water to reach the desired consistency. Add cream, and mix well. Let it boil for 2 minutes on medium heat while stirring occasionally.
5. 5Now, add sugar/honey & mix well. Also, add some lemon juice, stir well for a minute and turn off the heat. Pour the piping hot soup into a serving bowl. Drizzle with some fresh cream. Garnish with almond flakes, some red chilli flakes, and a mint sprig. Serve it hot with crusty or garlic bread.
