Instructions
-
Prepare the Jackfruit: Start by cutting the raw jackfruit. Grease your hands and knife with oil to prevent sticking from the natural latex. Once cut, soak the pieces in salted water to avoid browning.
-
-
Mix the Spices: In a mixing bowl, combine the curd, tomato puree, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, and garam masala. Add a little water and stir to create a smooth mixture.
-
Sauté Aromatics: Heat mustard oil in a small pressure cooker over medium heat. Once hot, add asafoetida, followed by the finely chopped onions, garlic, and ginger. Sauté until the onions turn golden brown.
-
Add Whole Spices: Stir in the cinnamon stick and black cardamom, allowing the spices to infuse their flavors into the mixture.
-
Combine Ingredients: Pour the prepared spice mix into the cooker, followed by the jackfruit pieces and diced potatoes. Season with salt and stir well to combine everything.
-
Pressure Cook: Add 1 cup of water, cover the pressure cooker, and cook for 3 to 4 whistles. Turn off the heat and let the pressure release naturally.
-
Final Touches: Once the pressure has released, open the cooker and stir in chopped coriander leaves. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.
-
Serve: Transfer the Kathal Masaledar Sabzi to a serving bowl and enjoy hot. It pairs beautifully with phulkas or jeera rice, along with a side of carrot salad and a bowl of curd.
For a wholesome diabetic meal, serve this sabzi alongside Masala Jowar Methi Roti and Kollu Pachadi, making for a nutritious and satisfying dining experience. Enjoy the unique flavors of this North Indian classic!
