Prep Time: 10 mins Cooking Time: 30 mins Serves: 4
Ingredients:
500 grams Guvar (Cluster Beans)
1 Tomato Finely Chopped
5 Cloves Garlic Very Finely Chopped
3 tbsp Oil
1 Dry Red Chilli
¾ tsp Mustard Seeds
¼ tsp Cumin Seeds
¼ tsp Asafoetida (Hing)
¾ tsp Turmeric Powder
1 tsp Red Chilli Powder
½ tbsp Coriander-Cumin Powder (Dhana Jiru)
¼ tsp Jaggery (Gōr)
Salt to taste
Method:
Using your fingers, pinch the tip and tail of the guvar firmly in your hand, twist it off to discard, then break the guvar roughly into 2-inch pieces, wash and drain.
Heat oil over medium flame in a pan by adding the dry red chilli; once hot, add the mustard seeds, cumin seeds, asafoetida and chopped garlic.
Sauté for 30 seconds, now add the guvar, turmeric powder, jaggery and salt. Mix well and cook for 3-4 minutes with the lid covered.
Add tomatoes and cook for 8-10 minutes until the guvar is soft, stirring occasionally. Now add the chilli powder and coriander-cumin powder, cover with the lid for about 3 minutes, stir and cook for further 2-3 minutes.
Enjoy with hot rotli, dal bhat and kachumber.
