Instructions
Boiling the Sprouts:
- Prepare the cooker: Wash the mixed sprouts cleanly and add them to a pressure cooker.
- Season them: Add a little turmeric powder, a pinch of salt, and exactly half a glass of water to the cooker. Do not add too much water.
- Cook the sprouts: Close the lid and cook on a low flame for exactly 2 whistles.
- Rest: Allow the pressure cooker to cool down completely before opening it. The sprouts should be soft but not mushy.
Making the Dry Curry:
- Temper the spices: Heat oil in a pan or kadhai. Once the oil is hot, add mustard seeds, cumin seeds, curry leaves, and a pinch of hing.
- Sauté the aromatics: Add the roughly chopped onions and roast until they turn slightly golden.
- Add paste & tomatoes: Add turmeric powder, followed by the crushed ginger-garlic-green chilli paste. Sauté well. Then, add the chopped tomatoes and cook until soft.
- Add spices: Stir in the cumin-coriander powder and Kanda Lasun Masala. Mix everything well.
- Combine with sprouts: Add the boiled mixed sprouts (along with any tiny amount of leftover water from the cooker). Mix gently so you don't mash the beans.
- Garnish and steam: Sprinkle freshly chopped coriander leaves on top. Cover the pan with a lid and let it simmer on low heat for 5 to 7 minutes.
- Serve: Turn off the heat. Your delicious dry Mixed Sprouts Bhaaji is ready to serve!
