A simple and healthy tomato and wheat based Arabic style Shorba is on the menu today! A filling soup with the goodness of wheat and lamb with a sourness from the tomato is a real comfort food while breaking fast!
It has a slight sourness from the tomatoes, so you may add more or less as mentioned in the recipe! In authentic recipes, they will not add green chilies much, but here I added 3 to 4 as we like it spicy!
I love this recipe for its simplicity! If you like such soups on your Iftar menu, this one is an addition to your recipe book!! Hope you all got some inspiration and help from me sharing recipes this Ramadan! This is the last post for this Ramadan, stay tuned for Eid Desserts!

- Put the spices and pour enough water, cover the pressure cooker and cook it on low flame for 30 minutes after the first whistle.
- Once is done, wait for the pressure to release completely and then open the lid, mix. If it’s too watery and you like it a little thick, take 3 to 4 ladle full of wheat with stock and blend it into a paste. Then add this to the soup simmer it for few more minutes and switch it off!
