Steps for preparation
- Soak jowar grain in water for at
least 30 minutes.
- In a deep pot, bring 3 cups of
water to a boil. Add some salt. Drain and add the soaked whole jowar and to the
boiling water. Cover and let it cook on medium heat till the grains are soft.
Takes about 10 mins. Jowar grains will soak in most of the water and be a
little wet and mushy. You can also cook whole jowar in the rice cooker.
- On another stove, heat oil in a
wok/ kadai. Once the oil is hot, add mustard seeds, dried red chili, and curry
leaves. Sauté for a minute before adding green chili, ginger, and onion. Mix
well and cook for a minute.
- Add the chopped bottle gourd and
capsicum. Mix and cook for 5 minutes, until the vegetables start to soften.
- Add the boiled peas, tomatoes,
turmeric and salt. Mix well and cook for a couple of minutes.
- Add the cooked jowar and lime
juice.
- Mix well and cook for another minute.
- Garnish with fresh coriander and serve hot.
