Blogging Marathon# 47: Week 3/ Day 1
Theme: Recipes from Menu Card
Dish: Palak Badam Shorba
We are starting 3rd week of blogging marathon today and my theme for this week is ‘Recipes from Menu Card’. Valli gave us a few menu cards to choose from and I picked the menu from Puranmal restaurant. We are supposed to pick dishes from 3 different courses, so I have 3 yummy restaurant style dishes coming up this week.
I love reading menu cards and even though in a non-Indian restaurant here in the US, there are probably just 3~4 vegetarian dishes that I might be interested, I still make sure to look at all the pages for good measure 🙂
We hardly ever order soup at a restaurant, but if I see an interesting soup like this Palak-Badam Shorba I would probably order it to see how it tastes. So instead of spending the money at a restaurant, I made it right at home.
Almond butter is an ingredient that I always have in my fridge and that is what I used to thicken the soup. Alternately soaked and ground almonds can also be used.

What a beautiful color…even I never order soups..but tell me aren’t short as supposed to be light..I might be wrong, but some how I have this notion that soups are thick and shorbas light.whatever it might be I like that bowl:)
