Surati Papdi, Ratalu, Shakkariya Nu Mix Shaak (Mix Vegetable With Surati Papdi, Violet/Purple Yam And Sweet Potato)

In India, the winter has arrived. People are getting a relief from the heat and are enjoying the cool winter. Along with onset of winter, the markets are flooded with the winter vegetables such as small brinjal, ratalu, sweet potato, surati papdi, green peas, green pigeon peas (tuvar), lima beans, methi leaves, spinach, fresh green garlic.

The season of making Undhiyu has also arrived. Be it any festival or celebration, Undhiyu would be on the menu. Undhiyu is a dish made by combining all winter vegetables – surati papdi, green peas, green pigeon peas, potato, brinjal, sweet potato, ralatu, green fresh garlic, methi muthia with special masala made by mixing roasted peanuts, dry coconut or fresh coconut, and all green masala or dry masala.

Preparing undhiyu is a long process. Many people, therefore, make an easier variant by mixing the various winter vegetables. today I will cover such a dish. You can enjoy it during the winters and make it as often as you like.

I have used frozen surati papdi, as outside India, we do not have fresh surati papdi available.

I have pressured cooked the vegetables first and then tossed them with the prepared masala. It helps in cooking the dish quickly.  You can use a pan for entire cooking. Take care that the masala does not stick on the pan. You can use a heavy bottom pan or a  nonstick pan to avoid that. The masala can be  pre-prepared  and refrigerated for a week.

The masala used can either be made with fresh green herbs and spices-green chilies, fresh green garlic, coriander, fresh coconut (The color of the dish will be green), Or It can be made with the regular dry spices. The color of the cooked sabji’ will differ based on which masala you use.  I have made this dish using the dry spices. I have used Sunflower oil, but the ‘sabji’ also tastes good when made with sesame oil. Sesame oil is very healthy to have in winters.

I have served it with the lasaniya bajri na rotla (pearl millet flatbread with garlic) . You can also enjoy it with plain roti, paratha, methi dhebra, plain rice and kadhi, bhakhri.

Just make and enjoy the winter!!!

Notes

Notes:
Do not overcook the vegetables in pressure cooker. They should be firm and cooked.
While simmering the vegetables with the masala, add the water if required more. The masala and the vegetable will absorb the water. Hence the shaak will become dry after it is cooked and kept. Before serving, if the shaak is dry, then add little water while heating it.
