Tips for Making Perfect Beniseed Soup
Blend the seeds finely: A smooth paste gives the soup a better texture.
Avoid adding too much water:
Cook on low heat: This prevents the soup from scattering and burning at the bottom.
Use dry paper and fish: They give the soup a rich traditional taste. ゚viralシfypシ゚
