Ingredients
To Be Mixed Together Into A Masala
Other Ingredients
For The Garnish
Method
1. Make a criss-cross slit on each baby potato, banana piece and brinjal taking care not to separate the segments.
2. Stuff the vegetables evenly using ½ of the prepared masala mixture and keep aside.
3. Combine the double beans, purple yam, yam, toovar dana and the remaining masala mixture in a bowl, mix well and keep aside to marinate for 8 to 10 minutes.
4. Heat the oil in a pressure cooker, add the carom seeds, asafoetida and soda-bi-carb and sauté on a medium flame for a few seconds.
5. Add the stuffed vegetables, marinated vegetables, methi muthias, salt and 2 cups of hot water, mix gently and pressure cook on a high flame for 2 whistles.
6. Lower the flame and pressure cook for another whistle.
7. Allow the steam to escape using natural release method,(refer handy tip )before opening the lid. Serve hot garnished with coriander.
Handy tip:
1. Natural release method: to use this method, remove the pressure cooker from the hot burner and let the pressure drop by cooling down naturally. It works best for grains and for beans that you might use for salads, as quick-releasing the pressure can cause the beans to split apart.
