Ingredients

Instructions

  • Heat half of the oil in a medium pan or kadai. Fry the Sandge on low to medium heat for 4 to 5 minutes, until lightly browned. Remove and set aside.
  • Add the remaining oil to the same pan. Add mustard seeds and let them splutter.
  • Add the hing, turmeric, garlic, and green chili, and sauté on medium heat until fragrant, for 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Add the onion and half the kosher salt, and cook until the onion softens and turns lightly golden, about 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Add the tomato and half the cilantro, and cook until the tomato breaks down.
  • Stir in the red chili powder, garam masala, ground cumin, and ground coriander, and mix well.
  • Add the fried Sandge back into the pan along with the water and remaining kosher salt.
  • Cover and cook on medium heat for 10 minutes, until the Sandge are soft and break easily between your fingers.
  • Garnish with the remaining cilantro before serving.
