1. Cut the saragva into 3-inch pieces, remove the strings as you cut, wash and cut them in half.

2. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a pan, then add the mustard seeds, cumin seeds, asafoetida and garlic; sauté for a minute. Add the saragva, tomatoes, salt and ¼ cup of water.

3. Cover and cook on low heat for 8-10 minutes until cooked about 85%, occasionally stirring.

4. Meanwhile, in a small pan, add 3 tbsp oil and gram flour, put on low flame and mix well until the oil has combined and the raw smell is gone.

5. Add the turmeric, chilli powder, coriander-cumin powder, and jaggery, mix the yoghurt, pour in the gram flour, and cook for 3-4 minutes.

6. Pour the mixture into the saragva curry, add ¼ cup of water, adjust the salt seasoning, and cover and cook on low heat until it thickens, occasionally stirring. (if you need to add water, just put another ¼ cup)

• Enjoy with hot rotli and kachumber!
