Besan Curry

This Sindhi staple is my mum's recipe. A quick and easy 'one pot' curry that goes great with rice and aloo gobi or bhindi masala. 

What you'll need..

• 2 Tbsp besan (gram flour)
• 1 Medium potato, cut into chunks
• 1 Medium tomato, cut into chunks
• 6-8 Whole bhindi (okra)
• 2 Green chillies, chopped
• 1/4 Tsp turmeric powder
• 1 Tsp chilli powder
• 1 Tsp cumin seeds
• 1/4 Tsp methi seeds (fenugreek seeds)
• 1/3 Cup Tamarind juice
• 2 Tbsp cilantro leaves chopped
• 2 Tbsp oil
• Salt to taste

How to..

• Heat oil in a pressure cooker. Add cumin and fenugreek seeds to it and wait for them to splutter.
• Add besan and fry on medium heat till it start to turn light brown. 
• Add 2 cups water, tamarind juice, potato, tomato, green chilli, okra, turmeric powder, chilli powder and salt and mix well. 
• Bring to a boil then cover with the lid and cook on high heat till you hear the first whistle. Then simmer on low heat for 15 minutes. 
• Open the lid once all the steam has cooled. All the vegetables should be well cooked and the curry should be runny and not thick.
• Mix in cilantro leaves and serve hot.
