Рецепт Sambhariyu Shaak (Gujarati Stuffed Mixed Vegetable Curry)
BM# 63: Journey through the Cuisines
Week 3: Gujarati Cuisine
Day 19: S for Sambhariya Shaak
Today's Gujarati dish is yet another traditional vegetable dish. Here the veggies are stuffed with a spicy coconut filling and then pressure cooked until cooked to perfection. Another amazing recipe from Tarla Dalal.com.
All of my recipes for this week are from Tarla Dala's site. It has been a great resource and I love watching her videos as well. She makes even a hard recipe sound very easy to make.
After seeing lot of Gujarati Sambhariya dishes online, I'm assuming it means a stuffed dish -- correct me if I'm wrong, my gujji friends. So in today's dish, mixed vegetables like tindora (ivy gourd), eggplant, baby potatoes are stuffed and cooked with a yummy coconut stuffing. But the veggies can be easily customized to one's likes and preferences. Pressure cooking makes making this dish a breeze to make -- 2 whistles you have perfectly cooked vegetables. This dish tastes great with rotis or rice.
