Guvar nu Shaak (cluster
beans) pairs well with Bajra na Rotla. The
recipe to cook Guvar is short, simple and easy to prepare. Variations to the
recipe include making Guvar Dhokli nu Shaak and Guvar Batata nu Shaak. I
personally like it to eat it plain with Bajra Rotla.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Servings: 4
Ingredients:
- 3 1/4 cups cluster beans (guvar)
- 1 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoon dhana jeera powder
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
- Pinch of asafoetida (hing)
- Pinch of soda bicarbonate (optional, I did not use)
- 1/4 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 3/4 teaspoon carom seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon amachoor powder (mango powder)
- Pinch sugar
- 3 tablespoons oil
- Salt to taste
- 1 tablespoon chopped coriander leaves
Directions:
1.
Wash and string both
ends of each Guvar bean. Then cut each one into 2 to 3 smaller peices.
2.
On a low flame, heat oil
in a pan. Add mustard and cumin seeds. When the seeds begin to crackle, add
asafoetida, carom seeds, beans, and a little water.
3.
Mix well, and cook until
half done. Add turmeric powder and salt. Cover with a lid.
4.
Keep the inside of the
lid moist (rinse a little water, if needed, onto the underside) to let the
Guvar steam. You may also use a thali with water on top.
5.
Keep the pan slightly
uncovered
6.
Cook until tender and
then add all of the remaining ingredients. Mix well.
7.
Garnish with fresh
coriander leaves
8.
Serve hot with roti,
bajra rotla or bhakri
Note: You can also boil the guvar first and then
temper.
