INGREDIENTS:

  • 5 tablespoons oil
  • A pinch asafoetida (hing)
  • Green chillies to taste, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon each mustard, cumin and fenugreek seeds
  • 6 tablespoons gram-flour
  • 1 spring curry leaves
  • 1 teaspoon each coriander and cumin powder
  • ½-3/4 teaspoon turmeric
  • 2 cups mixed vegetables which include potatoes, drumsticks, squashes, brinjals
  • 2 tablespoons tamarind, soaked in ½ cup water salt to taste
  • 1-2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh coriander leaves, finely chopped

 

METHOD:

  • On the fire, heat the oil. Drop in the asafetida and after about few seconds, the chillies and seeds. Let them stop spluttering then add the gram-flour.
  • Stir continuously and fry till the flour is browned and aromatic. Cool slightly then add 5 ½ cups water, again stirring continuously so that no lumps remain.
  • Put back on the fire and bring to boil. Pour into a large microwave-safe bowl.
  • Stir in the curry leaves, spices and vegetables. Microwave at 100% power for 1 minute or just till the KADHI starts boiling again.
  • Reduce power level to 60% and cook another 8 minutes, stirring once.
  • Add the tamarind (sieved) and continue to cook another minute. Stand 3-4 minutes.
  • Take out the oven and check whether each vegetable is tenderized, add the sugar and salt and stir in the coriander.

 

SERVES 6

 

HANDY TIP:
