Serves 2

Preperation time 45 mins; Cooking time 15 mins

Ingredients:

1 cup Jowar flour
½ cup Wheat flour
Fresh fenugreek leaf (2 cups, without stem)
Green chillies - 6 (alter as per required)
1 Teaspoon turmeric powder
Garlic crushed - 8 cloves
Plain Groundnut powder - 2 table spoon
Salt to taste

Method:

Dough Balls:

Mix both flour and knead to form dough. (Not as soft as chapati dough; little hard enough to make round tiny balls)

Make tiny balls (thermacol balls size) and put them in jowar flour sprinkled plate to ensure that they don’t stick each other. Keep Spinkiling jowar flour on the balls made at regular interval and toss.

When done, steam them in greased colander or idly stand till such time that their color changes. Also press 1-2 balls to check if they are steamed enough. If not then continue for some more time.

When done, take off the steamer and leave to cool and then break to separate each ball

Fenugreek Curry:

Ensure that only leaf is taken and not the stalk; washed and dried well in advance to make dry curry and not watery.

Grind green chillies to paste.

In a wok, heat 2 tablespoon oil. Now add green chilly paste and saute for 3-4 seconds.

• Next add 3/4th qty of cut fenugreek leaf, salt & turmeric powde.
• Cover wok with a lid and wait for few seconds to let it cook. Don’t overcook as it turns bitter.
• Now add steamed seperated balls and sprinkle ground powder.
• Spread remaining fenugreek leaf.
• Lastly keep garlic paste and add 2 tablespoons oil above.
• Cover lid and leave to cook for 3-5 mins on a low flame.
