Grated Coconut: 1/2 cup
Ginger-Garlic Paste: 2 tablespoons

Sugar: 2 teaspoons
Lemon Juice: 1 tablespoon
Turmeric Powder: 1/2 teaspoon

Method:

  • Prepare Masala: Mix fenugreek leaves, coriander leaves, grated coconut, ginger-garlic paste, green chillies, sesame seeds, sugar, lemon juice, turmeric powder, cumin-coriander powder, asafoetida, and salt. This is your masala mix.
  • Stuff Brinjals & Bananas: Slit brinjals and bananas and stuff them with a portion of the masala mix.
  • Mix Vegetables with Masala: In a large bowl, mix surti papdi, purple yam, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and green peas with the remaining masala.
  • Heat Oil in a Pot: In Vardaan’s Stainless Steel Kadhai, heat oil. Layer the bottom with some masala-covered surti papdi to prevent sticking.
  • Layer Vegetables: Add the mixed vegetables, followed by the stuffed brinjals and bananas. Sprinkle any remaining masala on top.
  • Cook on Low Heat: Cover and cook on low heat for about 45-60 minutes. Stir occasionally, very gently to avoid breaking the vegetables.
  • Check for Doneness: The undhiyo is done when all vegetables are tender but not mushy.

Serving:

Serve hot, garnished with fresh coriander leaves and a side of puris or rotis. Undhiyo is a delightful winter dish, celebrated for its variety of flavors and textures.
