Valor papdi-ringan nu shak (broad beans-brinjal sabji)

This is a vegetable that can be eaten with bajra rotlo/ juvar roti. Even wheat roti can go well with it. Curd as a side dish will enhance the flavour.  

Ingredients:

valor papdi 250g

long black brinjal 100g

oil 2 teaspoon

salt as per taste

sugar (optional)-1 teaspoon

hing-pinch

chilli powder 1 teaspoon (more if one like spicy)

dhania powder (1 teaspoon

turmeric powder1/2 teaspoon

carron seeds 1/2 teaspoon

coriander to garnish 

ginger 1 inch piece

green chilli-1 finely chopped or make a paste with chilli, ginger and garlic

lemon juice- 1

garlic (optional) 2 clove


Method:

Wash and dry valor papdi with cloth. Remove strings from both side as much as one can, trim ends also. Now split papdi into two and cut into half. Wash and clean brinjal. Cut into 2cm cubes and keep in salt water to prevent it turning it black.


Heat oil in a pan. Add carrom seeds, hing, sautee. Add garlic, chilli and ginger paste. Now add valor papdi and allow to cook for 10 minutes. Once half cooked, add brinjal. Add all spices including salt and sugar(optional). Stir in between while being cooked. Ensure lid is covered with water above the lid. It will create steam which will cook the vegetable. Once cooked, turn off the heat, squeeze lemon and mix well. Garnish with coriander. Serve with roti and curd.
