Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup rice noodles
  • 6 Kashmiri red chilies dried
  • 1 tsp coriander seeds
  • ½ tsp turmeric powder
  • ½ inch ginger chopped
  • 6 cashews whole
  • 1 red onion chopped
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 2 tbsp gram flour besan
  • 2 cups water
  • 200 g coconut milk
  • 100 g zucchini sliced
  • 50 g mushrooms sliced
  • 50 g French beans sliced
  • ¼ cup fried noodles for garnish
  • ¼ cup fresh coriander leaves chopped
  • Lemon juice to taste
  • Boiled egg optional

Instructions
 

Prepare the Curry Paste

  • Grind dried Kashmiri chilies, coriander seeds, turmeric powder, ginger, cashews, and onion into a smooth paste.

Char the French Beans

  • Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan and sauté the French beans until slightly charred. Set aside.

Fry the Noodles

  • Stir-fry ¼ cup of noodles in the same pan until golden brown and crispy. Set aside.

Cook the Curry Base

  • Heat 1 tbsp oil in the pan, add the curry paste, and cook for 4–5 minutes. Add gram flour and continue cooking on low heat for another 3–4 minutes.

Add Vegetables and Simmer

  • Add the vegetables, water, and coconut milk to the pan. Simmer for 7–8 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

Assemble the Soup

  • Divide boiled rice noodles into 4 bowls, pour the curry over them, and top with charred beans, fried noodles, and garnishes.

Notes

  • Toast the Spices: Toasting coriander seeds and chilies before grinding enhances the flavor.
  • Don't Overcook the Vegetables: Keep them slightly crunchy for better texture.
  • Balance the Flavors: Taste and adjust salt, lime juice, and spice levels at the end.
  • Serve Immediately: Garnishes like fried noodles lose crunch if left for too long.
