Mutton Bones Soup

Its good for health and cools the body. Very important for increasing stamina after any illness is what i have heard about Mutton bones soup. The Bones on the Goat's Ribs have more fat, so we need to choose the other parts of the bones to prepare it.
it is actually so simple and so easy to prepare. As a starter it can be served before a nice meal too.
Ingredients:
1.Mutton bones - 200 gms
2.curry leaves - 1 spring
3.Small onion - 5 nos
4.garlic - 2 pods

6.Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp.
7.pepper(full corns) - 1/2 tsp
8. Water - 2 Cups.
9.Castor oil - 1 tsp (Optional - it is manily used to cool the body)
10.Salt - to taste
Instead of plain water, you can use the water that has been drained after washing the rice.
it increases the thickness of the soup also enhances the taste. Tomatoes can be added if necessary. it will increase the sourness. i have not added it.
   

Method:
Before cooking rice, wash and drain the water and during the 2nd wash take 2 cups and keep aside.
Grind together,onion, Garlic, jeera, curry leaves to a fine paste.
wash the bones with water and little bit of turmeric powder and on a Pressure cooker, place the bones, add the grinded paste, add full pepper, salt and castor oil and the rice washed water and turmeric powder and pressure cook on medium flame for a span of 20 mins until the bones gets cooked completely.
