JHATPAT CHATPAT- FOR QUICK, EASY AND TASTY RECIPES

Prerequisite: Mixer blender

Drumstick leaves and green gram curry is a nutritious recipe as it is rich in Vitamin A, iron and proteins. It is eaten with joLada roTTi, which is prepared by people who hail from regions of North Karnataka. Recipe share by Suma.

Ingredients Used:

3 fistfuls of drumstick leaves, finely cleaned and chopped
1/2 glass soaked green gram or dry green gram cooked up to five whistles
5 garlic pods (peeled)
Fistful coriander leaves
One onion chopped
Two small tomatoes
Salt to taste
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1/4 tsp Garam masala powder( I used Sunday masala)
6 green chillies ( or as per spice level requirement)
2-3 tsp cooking oil

How to make:

Cook green gram in a pressure cooker for about one whistle. Grind coriander leaves, garlic cloves, turmeric powder, green chillies and tomatoes in a mixer. Heat oil, add mustard seeds(wait till they crackle), add chopped onions and saute. Add the drumstick leaves and fry for a few minutes. Then, mix the ground masala and green gram. Pour a cup of water. Finally, add salt and garam masala powder. Bring to boil. Cook covered for 8-10 minutes on medium flame. You could add more water if you plan to eat it with rice.  I remember having this curry along jolada roTTi ooTa at restaurants.
