2 Poblano Chillies (toasted & diced)
Note for Poblano Chillies: Fresh chillies and bell peppers can be roasted over a gas flame or on a tray under the broiler. Keep turning so the skin is evenly charred, without burning and drying out the flesh. Transfer the charred peppers to a plastic bag, tie the top closed and let steam until cool to the touch, about 15 minutes. (If you are rushed, you can place the bag in a bowl of iced water to speed things up.) The best way to peel is just to pull off the charred skin by hand and then dip the peppers briefly in water to remove any blackened bits. Do not peel the pepper under running water since that will wash away flavorful juices. Once peeled, cut away stems, seeds and veins.
4 cloves of Garlic (Lehsan) (finely chopped)
6 Plum Tomatoes (peeled, chopped, and seeded)
1 cup of Fish Broth or Clam Juice
1 Bay Leaf (Tezz Patta)
6 small Potatoes (peeled & halved)
3 cups of Milk
1 cup of Corn Kernels (fresh) (If using frozen corn, be sure to thaw first)
1 ear of Corn (shucked and cut crosswise into ½ inch rounds)
1 pound of medium sized Raw Shrimp (peeled & deveined)
½ tsp. Salt
¼ tsp. Black Pepper (Pisi Kaali Mirch) (fresh ground)
½ of a small bunch of Cilantro/Coriander Leaves (Hara Dhania) (leaves chopped only, not stem)
Directions:
- In a large heavy saucepan, heat the butter and oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until slightly golden. Add the poblanos and the garlic and cook for 2 more minutes, until the aroma of the garlic is released.
- Add the tomatoes, fish broth, and bay leaf. Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil. Add the potatoes, bring to a boil again, and decrease the heat so the mixture starts to simmer.
- Cover the pan and simmer the soup for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender but not falling apart. Stir in the milk and simmer for another 5 more minutes, then add the corn kernels, corn rounds, shrimp, salt and pepper and simmer for an additional 4 minutes.
- Taste for seasoning and serve in heated bowls, sprinkled with a few leaves of cilantro.
