Undhiyu

Diwali Special:

Undhiyu is a traditional mixed vegetable curry recipe from Gujarati, India. It’s a feast in itself! We, Gujaratis, make Undhiyu on special occasions like Diwali and Uttarayan.

I am sharing the traditional way and an easy way (in a pressure cooker) to make this Undhiyu recipe with fresh and frozen vegetables.

Ingredients

- methi leaves - cilantro - besan/gram flour  - sooji - red chili powder - cumin powder

Make muthiya

In a bowl combine all the muthia ingredients and knead into a dough. Apply some oil on hands and divide into small round marble size balls.

Heat oil in a Kadai and deep fry on medium heat. Take them out on a plate lined with absorbent paper. Leave it aside for later use.

Grind coarsely the peanuts, sesame seeds, garlic, ginger, and green chilies. Now take a big bowl add the spices including crushed peanut mixture. Mix them well and keep them aside.

Make Masala

Thaw the frozen vegetables an hour before cooking. Cut eggplant, cauliflower, potatoes, and sweet potatoes into big cubes. Heat oil in a pan.

Cooking On the stovetop

Add all the frozen vegetables and add 2 cups of water. Cover it with a glass lid. Let it cook for 5 minutes over medium to high heat.
