Instant Tomato Shorba

Sunday evening....lethargy is at its peak and the mind is obviously thinking about the quick approaching 'Monday morning grind'. Aise main cooking is the last thing on my mind . But hunger doesn't leave you alone and gives constant reminders even when the mind is occupied :-) Was just thinking ki kash koi chamatkar ho jaye aur koi instant ,healthy and tasty food same aa jaye, just then the thought of making this yummylicious Instant Tomato Shorba struck my mind. 
Shorba  is a Moughal name of soup but it is usually thinner than other soups.Another basic difference is that Shorba is bit spicy as compared to other soups but believe me this is something which you are going to like instantly.Take a look at the recipe:
