Mera mewar ❤️ is full of moth watering delicacy so most of the items are been prepared with Besen and curd. Besan/gram flour is used extensively in Rajasthani cuisine so as in Marwari cuisine. Gutte ki sabzi, govind gutta, pitthod ki sabzi are few of most popular dishes of this region. Though made with almost the same ingredients , the procedure of making Pithod is quite different and tastewise also different. Marwari region of Rajasthan use Ghee extensively in their food and they are very pungent/spicy. I ❤️all Rajasthani dishes and I am really in love of Marwari, Pithod ki sabzi, Govind gutta and Laal Mas. Try it out this version of Pithod ki Subzi/masala 😋😘

- Reduce the flame. Add heeng, turmeric powder, coriander powder, ginger and green chili.
- Stir for a ½ min and add curd and keep stirring continuously till it starts boiling. Otherwise the it will be curdled. When it starts boiling, cook it for 2-3 min.
- Let it thicken a little and add the fried pithod. Cook for 2-3 mins. Its ready. Garnish with chopped coriander and mint leaves.
- However, let it be immersed for at least 15 mins before you serve. To make it more pungent you may do chonka/tarka. In a ladle heat ghee with masala, chilli flake and pour it on the top of the curry.
- Best paired with Bajra ki Roti,Chapati or butter Naan.🥰 enjoy this fabulous delicacy from the Rajputana.
