Mango, Radish and Carrot soup (ZERO Oil)
About:
In this creamy soup recipe, radishes, mango, carrot are cooked and pureed with the exotic flavour of garlic and curry leaves. The combination is fictitious and works well without adding any cream or grease.
The Mango variety used added a blended taste of tangy (Tamrind) and Jaggery (Sweet).
It’s a comforting, thick flavourful packed soup and perfect fusion is fresh bread.
Health Benefits:
Radish is extremely low in calories, but with potential anti-cancer benefits on account of their being a cruciferous vegetable (the same family as cabbages and Brussels sprouts).
Carrots are the most prolific food source of beta carotene – a potent antioxidant which blocks the action of free radicals that can damage DNA. Low levels of beta carotene have been linked with cancer and heart disease.
Enjoy this for dinner or lunch

Love the combination! Mango and coconut sound great. Coconut milk is adding some good fats so of course you don’t need the oil.

Aneela – Thanks for your visit and the feedback…You are right about Coconut milk…However Oil carries more calories and fat than low calorie coconut milk…hence tried this variation
