The Yellow Chilli by Sanjeev Kapoor - Santa Clara

Shorba / Soup

Soups are traditionally not considered a part of a typical Indian menu. Soups came to us, thanks to the foreign influences in our cuisine. One of the best points about Indian gastronomy is its adaptability. Thus, soups have found a permanent place on our menus. The Tomato Basil Shorba from our menu, is a fine example of the classic tomato soup, which is so loved by Indians all over, being elevated to another level with basil. The flavors and taste of tomato is best enhanced by basil, a secret most of chefs know
