Notes
We have added garam masala in this recipe. We do get questions from our readers, as to why do we use garam masala in soup and is it good to give it to kids. Well, garam masala is a blend of spices. Most of the spices we use are medicinal in value. We do use it regularly in Indian kitchens. So using garam masala in soup is good.
