Personally: this is one of the best soups I've ever made. It's based loosely on the Cuisine recipe of the same name, but I've pulled the raita and bumped up the spicing - actually I think I put more chilli in there than I list below. But I'm sure none of you follow recipes anyway...
The bread worked nicely with the soup, it's quite thick bread so soaks up soup nicely.
Cumin Bread
mix:
250ml of black coffee
75gm flour
2t fresh ground black pepper
2t cumin seeds
1t cumin ground
whisk and heat until thick and just boiling.
Dump into mixing bowl and allow to cool, add:
1t dry instant yeast
1t salt
250-300gm flour
And mix to a smooth dough.
Cover, leave 10 mins, then knead on an oiled surface, repeat twice more and leave for 30 mins.
Dump into baking tin and leave to rise for 45mins, bake for 40mins at 200C (fan).
Tomato and Tamarind Soup
Dump into saucepan:
200gm tin tomatoes (ish)
about the same of chopped fresh tomatoes
3 cloves chopped garlic
5cm knob ginger, chopped
1T tamarind paste (or 1T dried, soaked in hot water and mashed up)
1.5T brown sugar
2t tumeric
1/2t salt
1t ground pepper
1t ish of chilli paste or fresh
900ml vege stock
Bring to boil, then simmer for 10 mins.
Fry some cumin seeds (1-2t) and mustard seeds (1t) until fragrant, then mix in more chilli.
Mix the seeds through the soup, add a dollop of unsweetened yoghurt to the middle of it, serve.
Love, B

V intrigued by the cummin bread. Never heard of coffee in bread. Must try. Not writing full sentences. Not sure why.
And when can I buy the cookbook "Cooking with Bruce"? ;)
