  • 2 tsp lemon oil
  • 3 tsp onion seeds
  • 2 tsp fennel seeds
  • 50g ginger root, chopped
  • 4 chilli peppers, seeded and chopped
  • 1 red onion, finely chopped
  • 5g kaffir lime leaves
  • 1 tsp tomato purée
  • 1 tsp hing (asa foetida)
  • 1 lemongrass stalk
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt

For the Goan crab chutney

  • 50g white crabmeat
  • 60ml thick yoghurt
  • 1 red chilli pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 1 tsp ginger root, chopped
  • 1 tsp dried shrimp paste
  • 2 sprigs chopped coriander

Method: How to make chilled celine plum tomato soup

1. To make the soup, pour the lemon oil into a large soup pan. Add the onion seeds, fennel seeds and lime leaves. Cook until the aroma is released. Add the chopped ginger and chilli peppers and sauté for a minute or so, then add the red onion.

2. Add the salt and tomatoes and cook gently for 15 minutes. Add tomato purée, hing and lemongrass, cook for a minute, then add 1 litre of water. Further cook for 10 minutes. Transfer the cooled soup to a liquidiser, then strain through a sieve. Add the sugar (sugar helps in removing acidity from the tomatoes). Chill over ice.

3. To make the crab chutney, mix all the ingredients together and check the seasoning. Refrigerate until required. Serve with the soup.
