Gavar Bhaji 1

Gavar chi bhaji 1
Ingredients:
Gavar 250gms, onion 1 medium , garlic 4-5 ,garam masala 1/4 tsp, red chilli powder 1/2 tsp, mustard 1/4tsp, turmeric ,salt, asafoetida, oil 3 tbsp.
Optional:

 potatoes, chana dal, coconut can be used for variation
Begin with plucking the end of gavar with your hand and pulling the thick thread downward. Gavar needs stringing from both sides . This may not be needed if you have the tender once . Sometimes we don’t store them properly and it tends to lose moisture. Cut into pieces or break them with fingers . Generally I prefer the use of vegetable cutter to have exact length.

Wash gave keep aside heat a little oil in Kadhai and add asafoetida and add the gavar sprinkle a little water and let steam for 5min .and let cool. Heat oil in Kadhai now add mustard , crushed garlic, onion and stir till onion are soft and translucent add turmeric .
Add the Gavar ,garam masala, chilli powder and salt . Stir it well sprinkle water and allow to steam for few minutes .
When soft and tender [retain the moisture of vegetable] garnish with coriander or coconut .

TIPS:

2 types of gavar are available -long and fresh green colour and the other GAVRAN gavar which is short and dull looking which at times give itching when handling due to spikes on guar or dust over it . The irritation is self limited and relieved without medication. So do consider this market tip.
This is easily available and has medicinal value .
Avoid adding too many masala and keep it simple for your palate to experience the taste of vegetable.
