The Very Hungry Tummy

Majjiga chaaru / Spiced yoghurt and vegetable stew.

By the title u might have imagined this dish to be spiced creamy sauce with vegetables. You just got it right. If u still have any doubt have a look at the pic.


Ingredients:

sour Yoghurt/curds 2 cups
Gram flour/Besan 2 tbsps


Vegetables:
1 medium sized Carrot sliced
2 shallots/sambar onions
6 Drumstick pieces(cut into 2 inches)
1 medium sized Potato/sweet potato cut into 1 inch cubes
4 Green chillis (slit)
1 tomato

For tempering:
Mustard seeds
Cumin
Fenugreek seeds
Dried Red chilli
Curry leaves


Method:
  1. Seive the gramflour and add it to the buttermilk (dilute the sour yoghurt with 1 cup water) slowly so that no lumps r formed.Don't worry if any lumps r there just pass it through the seive.

  2. Put this buttermilk in a thickbottomed saucepan and simmer it till it raises(ఒక పొంగు రానివ్వాలి ). Keep stirring in between to avoid burning and curdling.

  3. While the buttermilk is in its business steam all the vegetables. (I do this in microwave oven by adding a little water and some salt. 5 mins is good enough. )

  4. Add the vegetables to the raised/boiled buttermilk.

  5. Add salt, turmeric and chilli powder if u like it spicy.

  6. Give it tempering.

  7. It is ready to serve.

Tastes gud with rice.

Enjoy.
