Undhiyu
Every winter vegetable in one pot with muthiya dumplings. The biggest cook on this list.
Ingredients
- 6 baby brinjals, 4 baby potatoes, 1 raw banana, 1 cup surti beans, 1 cup toor lilva
- For the masala: 1 cup coriander, 1/2 cup coconut, 6 garlic cloves, 4 green chillies, 1 tbsp sesame seeds, 1 tsp sugar, lemon
- For muthiya: 1 cup methi leaves, 1 cup besan, 1/2 tsp soda
- 1 tsp ajwain
- 1/2 cup oil
Method
- Green masala: grind coriander, coconut, garlic, chillies, sesame, sugar, lemon and salt into a coarse paste.
- Muthiya: mix methi with besan, spices and soda into a stiff dough, roll small dumplings, fry till golden. Set aside.
- Slit the brinjals and potatoes and stuff them with the green masala.
- Layer in a heavy pot: beans and lilva at the bottom, then banana, then stuffed vegetables on top. Rest of the masala and oil over everything.
- Add 1/2 cup water, cover tight, cook on the LOWEST flame for 40 minutes. Never stir — shake the pot instead, or everything breaks.
- Muthiya added for the last 10 minutes. Puri on the side.
