Best 2 Subru Uncles Seven Mix Veggies Dish Made For Diwali Dinner Recipes

SUBRU UNCLE'S DELICIOUS S. INDIAN SAMBAR VEG CURRY WE ALL LOVE

Steps:

• Prepare the tamarind pulp by first soaking a few pieces of tamarind in 1-1/2 cups of hot water.
• Squeeze the tamarind pieces as well as you can and allow the tamarind pulp (juice) to mix into the hot water.
• Once you have squeezed out half a cup, transfer this to a pot.
• Note that the consistency of the tamarind pulp should be such that you have more tamarind pulp and less water.
• Add the chopped ladyfinger to the pot.
• Allow to boil for 5 minutes.
• This is a neat trick Subru uncle's taught me.
• By doing this, the sticky fluid that comes out of the ladyfinger will not come out.
• Remove from heat and keep aside.
• Now, take a large pot in which you will be preparing the sambar.
• Heat the pot on medium-high flame.
• Once its hot, pour 3 cups of water in it.
• Add the drained toor dal (yellow lentils) and mix well.
• Add garlic and mix well.
• Allow it to boil well (for about 15 minutes).
• Lower flame and add all the chopped and diced vegetables to the boiling lentils (toor dal).
• Mix in turmeric powder, asafoetida powder, salt and Sambar masala powder.
• Fold in the chopped tomatoes.
• Cover with a tight-fitting lid and cook until the tomatoes are softened and the veggies are tender.
• In the meantime, prepare the seasoning.
• For this, heat oil in a non-stick frying pan on medium-high flame.
• Once it's hot, add mustard seeds, methi seeds and cumin seeds.
• Allow to crackle and splutter.
• Once this stops, add curry leaves, green chillies and whole red chillies to the pan.
• Mix well and stir-fry for 2 minutes on medium flame.
• Remove the pan from heat.
• Add this seasoning to the sambar.
• Mix well, cook on simmer for 5 minutes and serve this wonderful curry immediately (hot) with cooked long-grain Basmati white rice and low-fat plain yogurt, if required.

SUBRU UNCLE'S SEVEN MIX VEGGIES DISH MADE FOR DIWALI DINNER

Steps:

• Boil the beans and potatoes in a pot of water. Drain and keep aside for the time being to be used in the recipe later.
• Put the garlic cloves, piece of ginger, cumin seeds, the bunch of fresh corrainder leaves and a little water in a mixer. Process until a smooth and strong smelling green marinade is obtained. Uncover and keep aside to be used later in the recipe.
• Heat oil in a wok.
• Once hot, add cumin seeds and allow to splutter.
• Once they stop spluttering, fold in the onions and stri fry until browned.
• Now add the marinade (paste) prepared in the mixer earlier and allow it to come to a boil.
• Lower flame, add the tomatoes and about 1/2 cup of water.
• Increase heat and allow to cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the tomatoes become slightly mushy.
• Now, heat 2 tbsps. of oil in a pot.
• Add the carrots and allow to cook on either side. Once the carrots are lightly browned, remove from heat and keep aside.
• Likewise, one at a time, add all the vegetables i.e. boiled and drained beans, peas, potatoes and cauliflower. Stir fry lightly until the veggies are lightly browned and remove from the pot.
• Now add all the fried veggies to the wok containing the tomato and marinade mixture. You may add a little water if you feel necessary to allow the veggies to cook.
• Lower heat to medium flame and allow to cook for 10-12 minutes. Stir the veggies every 3 minutes to ensure they do not stick to the bottom of the wok.
• Add corriander leaves for garnish.
• Remove from heat and serve hot with rotis or Indian flatbreads and a dollop of yoghurt or fresh cream on the side.
• Enjoy!
