Preparation Time: 10 min. Cooking Time: 25 min. Serves 4

Ingredients:

150 grams Frozen Tuvar (Pigeon Peas)

150 grams Frozen Papdi Lilva (Field Beans)

150 grams Frozen Surti Lilva (Hyacinth Beans)

150 grams Frozen Valor Lilva (Helda Beans)

150 grams of Frozen Peas

¾ cups Fresh Tomato Puree

1½ tbsp Ginger Paste

1½ tbsp Tomato Puree

2 tbsp Coriander Leaves Chopped

3 tbsp Oil

1 Dry Red Chilli

½ tsp Mustard Seeds

½ tsp Cumin Seeds

¼ tsp Asafoetida (Hing)

¾ tsp Turmeric Powder

1 tsp Red Chilli Powder

1¼ tbsp Coriander-Cumin Powder (Dhana Jiru)

1 tsp Dal Masala Powder

½ tbsp Jaggery (Gōr)

Salt to taste

Method:

1. With a sharp knife, score the tomatoes on four sides, cutting just enough to pierce through the skin. Blanch the tomatoes for a minute, then peel the skin off. Blend to make fresh tomato puree and set aside.

2. Add the dry red chilli to the oil on medium heat. Once hot, add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds until they crackle, then add the asafoetida and fresh tomato puree.

3. Add the ginger paste, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, coriander-cumin powder, dal masala, jaggery and salt, and sauté for 2-3 minutes on medium heat, stirring occasionally.

4. Add all the frozen beans apart from the frozen peas, add ½ cup of water, mix well and simmer for 15-20 minutes with the lid on, stirring occasionally. (you may need to add water, so add ¼ cup at a time)

5. After 15 minutes, check if the beans are soft and cooked. Then add the frozen peas and cook for 2-3 minutes more.

• Garnish with coriander leaves and enjoy hot with plain puri or chapati (rotli).
