Some years ago now, I was fortunate enough to spend some time juggling for children in India. I travelled with a dear friend of mine who knew the village we were staying in really well and we had lunch in a restaurant called Krishna’s nearly every day.
This soup was my enduring memory of that place. The original soup had little pieces of onion bhaji in it which I’ve subbed tofu in place of. My recipe is based only on my memory from 15 years ago so may be vastly different from its origins, but the memory is a cherished one and the soup is good!
