Tomato Coriander Shorba

Yesterday while shopping, we visited this restaurant 'Moti Mahal Deluxe'. One of the food items we ordered was the tomato shorba. My dot loved the shorba and asked me to make some at home. Said it's exactly tasted like the one in the restaurant. So, here it is (after surfing through the net).

Ingredients:
Tomatoes - 4 (chopped)
Onions - 1.5 (diced)
Ginger - 1 tsp. (chopped)
Kashmiri red chilli powder - 1/4 to 1/2 tsp.
(I use Everest brand)
Cloves - 3
Bay leaves - 1 (big) or 2 (small)
Cumin seeds - 1 tsp.
Water - 4 to 5 cups
White pepper powder - according to taste
Salt (to taste)
Coriander leaves - 3 tbsp. (chopped)
Olive oil

Method:
Heat oil and add cloves, bay leaves and cumin seeds. When the cumin seeds sizzle, add diced onions and saute. Pour water. Add tomato pieces, ginger, kashmiri red chilli powder and salt. Bring it to a boil. Cover and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat and strain. Bring the soup to a boil for 2 minutes. Add the coriander leaves and white pepper. Serve hot.
