Add the chillies, mushrooms, baby corn and salt and simmer for another 15 minutes in the covered pan.
Add the lemon juice just before serving.
Garnish the soups bowl with spring onions, coriander and carrot, pour the hot soup over it and serve at once.

Tips

Keep in mind that seasoning cubes already contain salt. Therefore, extra salt should be added last, if required.
Pouring hot soup over the spring onions, carrots and coriander helps release their flavours besides cooking them slightly.
