Recipe
1
Boil the soaked Panchkula in salted water until tender, then drain and set aside.
2
Heat mustard oil in a heavy-bottomed pan until it smokes slightly, then let it cool down a bit.
3
Add cumin seeds, fennel seeds, and asafoetida to the warm oil, allowing them to crackle.
4
Stir in turmeric powder, red chili powder, and coriander powder, taking care not to burn the spices.
5
Add the boiled Panchkula to the pan and toss well to coat with the spiced oil.
6
Pour in one cup of water, cover, and simmer on low heat for 10 minutes so the flavors absorb.
7
Uncover, add dry mango powder, and sauté on high heat until any excess moisture evaporates.
8
For the rotis, knead bajra flour with warm water into a smooth, pliable dough, divide into portions, pat out into round flatbreads by hand, and cook on a hot griddle until golden brown on both sides.
9
Serve the hot Panchkula ki Sabzi alongside freshly made Bajra Roti with a dollop of white butter.
