Simple (thuthuvalai) Solanum trilobatum soup

Simple thuthuvalai soup - Preparation time 10 mins
This green is very good in bringing down the chest cold. When this soup is consumed for 2 or 3 days it cured cold. Thuthuvalai green is heat in nature so i fried the leaves using sesame oil if you want you can use ghee instead. 
Thuthuvalai leaves and stem contains sharp thorn so be careful while cleaning. I cut the leaves using scissors and washed.

Ingredients:-
Thuthuvalai leaves - 15 to 20 (Washed well, remove the hard stems, chop leaves to bits)
Turmeric - 1/4 tsp
Pepper - 1/2 tsp
Cumin  - 1/2 tsp
Salt - as required (optional)
Sesame oil - 1/4 tsp
Water - 2 cups

Preparation method :-
In a kadai or vessel add cumin seed, thuthuvalai keerai, sesame oil, turmeric, pepper and salt.
Fry till the raw smell of the leaves goes of.
Add 1.5 cups of water to keerai and leave it to boil with all the ingredients. Keep the vessel covered when the soup is boiling.
You can grind this to smooth drink and consume.
Both way it will be good.
