Ingredients
 

  • 200 grm saragva - drumstick
  • Salt to taste
  • 4 tbsp besan
  • 3-4 tbsp oil
  • ½ tsp mustard seeds
  • ½ tsp cumin seeds
  • 4-5 methi dana
  • Pinch of hing
  • 5-6 curry leaves
  • 2 chopped green chilli
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 1 tbsp chopped garlic
  • ½ tsp turmeric powder
  • 1 tbsp red chilli powder
  • 1 tbsp coriander powder
  • 1 tsp kitchen king masala
  • 1 tsp sugar - optional
  • ¾ cup water or as required
  • 2 tbsp curd
  • Some coriander leaves

Instructions

  • Wash and cut 200 grams or 4 medium-sized saragva sing (drumsticks) into medium-sized pieces.
  • Now, in a pressure cooker, add the saragva sing pieces, salt, and ¾ cup water. Cover with the lid and pressure cook on high flame for 1 whistle.
  • Once the pressure releases naturally, open the lid. The saragva sing is properly cooked. Keep it aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, add 4 tbsp besan, a pinch of turmeric, and ½ cup water. Mix well until a smooth and lump-free batter is ready. Keep it aside.
  • In a kadai, add 4 tbsp oil, ½ tsp mustard seeds, ½ tsp cumin seeds, 4 methi dana (fenugreek seeds), a pinch of hing (asafoetida), and 5–6 curry leaves. Sauté well.
  • Now add 2 chopped green chillies, 1 tsp grated ginger, and 1 tbsp chopped garlic. Sauté it.
  • Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, add ½ tsp turmeric powder, 1 tbsp red chilli powder, 1 tbsp coriander powder, 1 tsp kitchen king masala, and 1 tsp sugar. Add ¼ cup water and mix well to make a masala paste.
  • Add the masala paste to the tempering and mix well. Cook until the oil releases from the sides.
  • Then add the saragva pieces and salt to taste. Mix well.
  • Now add the besan batter to the sabzi. Do not mix it. Cover the pan and cook the sabzi on low flame for 3–4 minutes.
  • Now open the lid and mix well. The shaak is ready.
  • Switch off the gas and add 2 tbsp curd. Mix well.
  • Garnish with coriander leaves and serve Saragva nu Lotiyu with roti or rice.

Notes

  • Do not add more water while pressure cooking saragva.
  • Adding water to the masala helps it puff up and prevents it from burning during tempering.
  • Do not mix the besan batter into the shak gravy.
  • Cook the shak on low flame for 2–3 minutes so the besan batter cooks properly.
  • Switch off the gas and add curd to the shak to enhance its taste.
