Oal ki Sabzi Recipe - North Indian Vegan Dinner | CraftMyMeals

Instructions

1
Prepare the Yam
- To prevent skin irritation, apply a little oil to your hands before handling the raw yam.
- Peel the thick, brown skin off the elephant foot yam using a sturdy knife.
- Cut the peeled yam into 1-inch cubes and rinse them thoroughly under running water.
2
Boil the Yam
- In a large pot, combine the yam cubes, 4 cups of water, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and 1/2 tsp salt.
- Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat.
- Reduce the heat to medium and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the yam is fork-tender but still holds its shape. Do not overcook.
- Drain the water completely using a colander and set the boiled yam cubes aside. This step is crucial to remove the natural acridity of the yam.
3
Sauté Aromatics
- Heat mustard oil in a heavy-bottomed pan or kadai over medium-high heat until it just begins to smoke. This removes its raw pungency. Immediately reduce the heat to medium.
- Add the cumin seeds and asafoetida. Let them sizzle and become fragrant for about 30 seconds.
- Add the finely chopped onions and sauté for 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently, until they turn soft and golden brown.
- Add the ginger-garlic paste and slit green chillies. Cook for another minute until the raw aroma disappears.
4
Cook the Masala
- Stir in the tomato puree and cook for 3-4 minutes, until it thickens slightly.
- Add the turmeric powder, red chilli powder, and coriander powder. Mix well.
- Cook the masala mixture for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it darkens in color and you see oil separating from the sides of the pan.
5
Combine and Simmer
- Add the boiled yam cubes to the prepared masala. Gently toss to coat the yam evenly without breaking the pieces.
- Pour in 1 cup of water and add the remaining 3/4 tsp of salt. Stir gently to combine.
- Bring the curry to a simmer. Cover the pan, reduce the heat to low, and let it cook for 8-10 minutes. This allows the yam to absorb all the flavors of the gravy.
6
Finish and Garnish
- Uncover the pan. Sprinkle the garam masala and dry mango powder over the curry. Mix gently.
- Cook for one more minute to allow the final spices to meld.
- Turn off the heat. Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves.
- Let the sabzi rest for 5 minutes before serving hot with roti, paratha, or steamed rice.

Ingredients

2 cup atta (Use a fine-milled whole wheat flour for best results.)
1 cup lukewarm water (Adjust quantity as needed; dough should be soft and pliable.)
1 tsp ghee (For the dough, plus extra for brushing (optional).)

Instructions

1
Prepare the dough
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the atta and 1 tsp of ghee.
- Gradually add lukewarm water, a little at a time, mixing with your fingers to form a shaggy dough.
- Knead the dough on a clean surface for 8-10 minutes, using the heel of your palm to push and fold until it is smooth, soft, and pliable, but not sticky.
- Cover the dough with a damp cloth or a lid and let it rest for at least 20-30 minutes. This step is crucial for relaxing the gluten and ensuring soft rotis.
2
Divide and roll the rotis
- After resting, knead the dough for another minute.
- Divide the dough into 8 equal-sized portions and roll each into a smooth, crack-free ball.
- Take one dough ball, flatten it, and dip it in dry atta for dusting.
- On a rolling board, use a rolling pin to roll it into an even circle about 6-7 inches in diameter. Ensure the edges are as thin as the center for proper puffing.
3
Cook the roti
- Heat a flat griddle (tawa) over medium-high heat. It's ready when a pinch of flour sprinkled on it sizzles and turns brown in seconds.
- Place the rolled roti on the hot tawa. Cook for about 20-30 seconds, until you see small bubbles appear on the surface.
- Using tongs, flip the roti. Cook the second side for about 45-60 seconds, until light brown spots appear.
4
Puff the roti
- Using tongs, carefully remove the roti from the tawa and place it directly over a medium-high open flame. It should puff up into a ball almost instantly. Flip it once and remove immediately to avoid burning.
- Alternatively, if you don't have a gas stove, flip the roti back onto the tawa and gently press the edges with a folded kitchen towel. This traps steam and helps the roti puff up.
- Once puffed, immediately remove the roti from the heat.
5
Finish and serve
- Brush one side with ghee, if desired, for extra flavor and softness.
- Place the finished roti in a casserole dish or a container lined with a clean kitchen towel to keep them soft and warm.
- Repeat the process for all remaining dough balls. Serve hot with your favorite dal, curry, or sabzi.
