gavar bhaji


 



Ingredients:

  • 250 grams cluster beans (gavar)
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 2-3 dry red chilies (broken into pieces)
  • 1/4 teaspoon asafoetida (hing)
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon red chili powder (optional, for added spice)
  • Salt to taste
  • Fresh coriander leaves (for garnish)



Instructions:

  • Wash the cluster beans thoroughly and trim off the ends. Cut them into small pieces or leave them whole, as per your preference.

  • Heat oil in a pan or kadai over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and let them splutter. Then, add cumin seeds and broken red chilies. Sauté for a few seconds until the spices release their aroma.

  • Add asafoetida (hing), turmeric powder, and red chili powder (if using). Stir well to combine the spices.

  • Add the cluster beans (gavar) to the pan and mix them with the spices. Sprinkle some salt to taste and give it a good stir.

  • Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let the cluster beans cook for about 10-12 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking. The cluster beans should become tender but still have a slight crunch.

  • Once the cluster beans are cooked, remove the lid and sauté them for another 2-3 minutes on medium-high heat. This will help any excess moisture evaporate and enhance the flavors.

  • Turn off the heat and transfer the cluster beans stir-fry to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
