Instructions
To commence your culinary journey with the Jhinga Gawar recipe, first gather and prep all ingredients, ensuring that the cluster beans are cut into bite-sized pieces. Heat sunflower oil in a kadai, then add the cumin seeds, allowing them to crackle with excitement. Once they have released their aromatic essence, introduce the slit green chillies and the finely chopped onions, sautéing them until they turn translucent and fragrant.
Next, stir in the ginger garlic paste, cooking it briefly until the raw aroma dissipates. Add the chopped tomatoes, allowing them to soften and become mushy, creating a delightful base for your sabzi. Once the tomatoes are well integrated, sprinkle in the cumin powder and add the gawar. Sauté this mixture for about half a minute, then pour in approximately half a cup of water. Cover the pan and let it simmer on medium heat, checking after 10 minutes and stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
As the gawar phali approaches tenderness, gently fold in the shrimps, allowing them to cook thoroughly. Cook until the water evaporates, resulting in a beautifully dry sabzi that’s bursting with flavors.
Serve your Jhinga Gawar alongside Lauki Chana Dal, Phulka, or Makki Ki Roti. For an exquisite meal, pair it with a refreshing Dangar Pachadi with grated carrots to complete the delightful lunch experience.
Enjoy this vibrant and nutritious dish that highlights the harmonious blend of shrimp and cluster beans, making every bite a celebration of Indian cuisine!
