PREPARATION METHOD
Wash all vegetables before chopping, then chop into medium sized pieces. Scrape ginger and peel garlic, then crush it and set aside. Using a pestle and mortar crush peppercorns and cumin seeds either separately or together.
Now take a cooker and add all the chopped vegetables, mint leaves, coriander leaves (you can chop or tear the leaves or just add them whole), crushed ginger, garlic, peppercorns, cumin seeds, fennel seeds, turmeric powder and pour water until it gets immersed and there is water 3 inches above the vegetables layer.
Close the pressure cooker with its lid and place on flame. After the steam or pressure oozes out of the nozzle, place the whistle (aka regulator) and pressure cook on low flame for 20 minutes.
Then, remove from flame and set aside until pressure drops. Remove the whistle first, then open the lid for safety means.
Strain soup and use the vegetables for making some kuruma or curry. (If you want to serve the soup along with the vegetables then you must chop the vegetables into smaller pieces and pressure cook it for just 15 minutes.)
Before serving, add salt according to taste and pepper powder.
