Instructions

• Heat up oil in a pan. When the oil is enough hot, add mustard seeds and let them pop up.

• Add onion and fry it until it gets light golden color for about 6-7 minutes.
• Use a bit more onion for this recipe.
• Add tomato, ginger-garlic paste, coriander powder, garam masala, and red chili powder.
• Mix the spices well and cook until tomato gets mashed with onion for about 4-5 minutes.
• You also can cover and cook these spices.
• If you find that the spices are getting dry or overcooked you can add a little water at the intervals.
• Take chavali, wash it really good and soak overnight.
• Just before making sabzi, cook in a pressure cooker until 3 whistles.
• When tomato gets mashed really good with onion, add 1 tbsp grated fresh coconut, jaggery and mix well.
• Add cooked chavali, water, and salt to taste. Mix well.
• Cover and boil on medium heat for about 5-6 minutes.
• Remove the lid and mix well again.
• Turn off the heat and add finely chopped coriander. Chavalich bhaji is already.
• This bhaji goes well with poli, hot fulka, or hot and crispy paratha.
• This also goes well with plain rice.
