Jharkhand Badi Sabzi Sun Dried Urad Dal Dumpling Tomato Curry

Method

1. 1

   Fry the badi in 1 tbsp oil on medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes until golden and slightly puffed. Remove and set aside.

2. 2

   In remaining oil add finely chopped onion.

3. 3

   Cook 8 minutes until golden. Add ginger-garlic paste.

4. 4

   Cook 2 minutes. Add tomatoes. Cook 7 minutes until oil separates.

5. 5

   Add turmeric, coriander powder and red chilli powder. Cook 2 minutes.

6. 6

   Add 1/2 cup water. Bring to a simmer. Add fried badi.

7. 7

   Simmer covered on medium for 10 to 12 minutes — the badi absorb the curry and swell, developing a spongy texture that carries the gravy beautifully.

8. 8

   Add garam masala and salt. Garnish with coriander.
