To make tomato shorba or any tomato soup, always use tomatoes which are ripe and not too sour. If the tomatoes are too sour, then the shorba will also become sour. In this recipe we are not using any cream, so it is best to use tomatoes which are ripe, red and sweet. coriander leaves are added in a good amount in this recipe. Thereby taking this tomato dhaniya shorba to another level.

You can even have this tomato ka shorba accompany a veg pulao, cashew pulao or jeera rice. Or just have it plain in a cold weather.
