Step by step khurdi soup recipe with photos.
Khurdi is traditional bohra white soup often served with Qeema ki khichri. The word 'khur' means legs bones or 'payaa'. So khurdi is a soup of trotters of goat or sheep by literal meaning. The main ingredient of khurdi is the broth made of bones and meat both. When this broth is flavored with whole spices meaty smells are subdued. Milk makes the soup more nutritious and gives it a white color. And mint herb further enhaces the flavors. Khurdi can be made with
- Traditional Trotters khurdi: Also add a little meaty bones along with trotters.
- Mutton and bones khurdi: You can use mutton bones with little meat.
- Goat's head khurdi: It is also called 'siri'. You can make delicious khurdi with siri and more bones that has bone marrow. For instructions on how to wash and prepare goats head for khurdi, see notes. Brain is not added.
- Chicken neck khurdi: If you don't like red meat, chicken necks of organic chicken also make very tasty and healthy khurdi.
Whatever option you choose khurdi is very tasty and healthy for kids and patients recovering after bone injury and pregnant women. But people with high cholesterol should limit their intake to small servings or eat chicken khurdi.
