Other Ingredients

Instructions
 

  • Wash and peel parwal. Remove stalk from both ends and make a slit in centre lengthwise. Do not cut the whole parwal.
  • With help of a small or scooper, scoop out the seeds from them. Set them aside.

For the Stuffing

  • Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a non-stick pan. Add dry red chiili and besan. Saute for a minute on low to medium flame.
  • Then add crushed peanuts (peanut powder) and saute for 2-3 minutes.
  • Now add all the spice powders one by one - dhaniya powder, jeera powder, garam masala powder, red chilli powder, turmeric powder and salt. Saute for 1-2 minutes. Keep on stirring continuously.
  • Remove from flame and allow to cool.
  • Once cooled, add amchur powder, powdered sugar and chopped coriander leaves.
  • Stuffing is ready. Set aside.

Preparing Sabzi

  • Fill the slit parwals with the prepared stuffing.
  • Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a non-stick pan. Add dry red chilli and mustard seeds. Once seeds crackle, add jeera. When it crackles, add green chilli and hing.
  • Reduce the flame, stir and immediately place the stuffed parwals in the pan and lightly toss the pan so that parwals are coated with oil.
  • Sprinkle around 2 tablespoons water and cover with a lid. Cook on a low to medium flame for 15-20 minutes stirring occasionally. After every 3-4 minutes, keep on tossing the pan so that parwals doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan.
  • Once they are cooked completely, sprinkle the remaining stuffing masala and chopped coriander leaves over them. Stir gently and saute for 1-2 minutes.
  • Serve with phulka rotis or parathas.
