On Narasimha Chaturdasi day, my wife made some delicious recipes for the Lord. She made Creamy Tomato and basil soup for the Lord. It came out really tasty and creamy. The recipe is as follows;1 tblspoon Olive oil
1 teaspoon asafoetida
14 ounce chopped tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup vegetable stock/water (we used water)
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup milk or 1/4 cup heavy cream
1 tblspoon maple syrup
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
In a medium pot on medium heat, heat the oil and saute the asafoetida till it slightly releases its flavor. Add the tomoatoes and saute till soft. Then add the chopped basil and saute for couple of minutes. Add the water (or vegetable stock) to the pan and bring it to a boil on a high and once it starts to boil, bring it to medium heat and allow it to simmer for 15 minutes.
Remove the pot from the heat and after it cools, blend it in a food processor along with the other ingredients. After the blend, tranfer it back to the pot and heat it briefly and finally garnish with parsely or coriander leaves.
The recipe takes about 30 mins from start to finish. The reciped was taken from La Dolce Vegan book.
Pav Bhaji
My wife also made Pav Bhaji for Lord Narasimha and it came out very nice especially the bread was delicious. Below is the link to the recipe. It took about an hour to do the pav bhaji. In 1.5 hours, Lord Narasimha was offered a hearty meal.
note: instead of onion and garlic, please use asafoetida.
