This recipe is what I name my “dump” soup. I simply dump every thing into the Immediate Pot and after 11 minutes of cooking, I’ve a scrumptious, nutritious, protein wealthy soup. The flavour of the soup “as is” is already good, however once I add just a little curry powder, it takes the flavors up a giant notch!
IMPORTANT
I add the curry powder after cooking as a result of my husband HATES the scent and the style of the curry powder. I would not dare add it to all the pot of soup whereas cooking as a result of the fragrant oils in these spices can be launched into all the apartment. Our clothes and furnishings, curtains and apartment would in all probability scent like curry.
What precisely is curry powder fabricated from?
It’s a spice often utilized in Indian cooking that may be a mixture of spices akin to floor turmeric, floor coriander, floor cumin, black pepper, floor dry mustard, cardamom, fenugreek, and cinnamon.
I’ve learn that the fragrant spices akin to those I discussed above launch risky oils that permeate and linger within the air, furnishings, curtains for a very long time.
I’d skip the curry altogether, but it surely does actually style good!
Wash Instantly
Personally, I discover that the “odor” is significantly decreased in the event you solely add the curry powder to every bowl (versus cooking with them) after which just be sure you wash the bowl instantly after dinner. By no means depart it in a single day to soak.
Vinegar and Water
I additionally learn you could put out some bowls of vinegar and water (50/50) within the kitchen to assist take up a few of the sturdy fragrant oil smells given off by the spices.
