Bagar Soup / Samo Seed Soup


Bagar or Samo seed is something that very commonly eaten in North India during UPWAS. Some places it is also known as Vrat Ke Chawal. I can understand that why it is called so i think because of its broken rice like texture. Its a seed of a grass that grown along with rice in the fields but is not considered as a grain so can be eaten during upwas.

If you are someone who eats tomato during fast then its a satisfying preparation at the end of a long day of fast.


Bagar - 1/4 cup
Fresh Tomato Puree - 1 1/2 cup
(Chop and blend tomato without water in an blender or chop tomato finely)
Coriander Leaves - 1/4 cup chopped
Water - 1 1/2 cup
Upwas Salt to taste
Ghee - 1/2 tsp

For Tempering
