Paya soupu00a0-- Firangi Dhaba express
The best Paya Soup, like resilience, is a product of endurance. Paya takes up to six hours to prepare. Lamb trotters are marinated and stewed with clove, cinnamon and other Indian spices to be brewed into a soup. Paya Soup has descended from Mughal royalty and is also known as Jahangiri Shorba. Cooked to perfection, the meat of the trotters takes long to tenderise and retains a slightly sticky texture that mingles with the ginger, garlic and onion marinade. A great way to add another dimension to the monsoon!
For Rs 94
At Firangi Dhaba Express, Infinity Mall Food Court, second floor, Andheri (W).
Khow sueyu00a0-- Lemon grass Cafe
Khow Suey comes from Burma's mountainous Shan state. Descending its steep cliffs is this coconut milk-based soup at Lemon Grass Cafe that comforts many a belly on a cold, rainy day. It's a one-dish meal that includes noodles, rich broth, spicy chicken and even boiled eggs. According to tradition, the different toppings, including fried garlic, onions and chillies are served in individual bowls. Sip and slurp away amid the green environs of this cafe.
For Rs 285
At Lemon Grass Cafe, Carlton Court, Junction Pali Hill and Turner Road. Call 26429193
Mexican Caravanu00a0-- Sammy Sosa
Mexico visits Mumbai! When the downpour ignites the need for fire in your belly, treat yourself to some Mexican Caravan Soup at Sammy Sosa. This soup uses black beans as the base with the tingling taste of fresh chillies. We suggest, non-veg folks add some chicken to the trail. Tuck into the crisp tortillas blanketed in molten cheese that are served as an accompaniment.
