Instructions for Konkan Style Vali Bhajji Ambat Recipe-Spiced Malabar Spinach Dal

    1

    We begin making the Vali Bhajji Ambat Recipe by heating a nonstick pan and roasting the coriander seeds, dry red chilies, and coconut. Keep it aside to cool down. Then grind it in a blender to a coarse paste.

    2

    Clean the spinach leaves and chop them along with the stem. In a pressure cooker, saute the onions and add the tamarind water and the tur dal along with spinach and tomato till it is done for about 3 whistles. Once done release the pressure naturally.

    3

    Once done, using a muddler, muddle the dal and other ingredients to a coarse curry. You can add some water in order to adjust seasoning.

    4

    Heat a thick bottomed pan, add the ground paste and the dal  mixture. Adjust the consistency again and check for the seasoning. Add the jaggery to the dal once it starts boiling.

    5

    In order to do the tempering take a small skillet and add oil, once it is heated then add the mustard seeds and garlic, then pour it onto the dal mixture.

    6

    Serve your Vali Bhajji Ambat Recipe with some steamed rice or Phulka and end it with Paal Payasam Recipe to make your meal complete.
