Recipe
1
Clean the sun-dried jawla thoroughly by picking out any debris, then rinse lightly in a strainer and drain completely.
2
Heat coconut oil in a pan over medium heat, add the curry leaves, slit green chilies, and ginger-garlic paste, sautéing until fragrant.
3
Add the finely chopped red onions and cook until they turn translucent and slightly golden brown.
4
Stir in the turmeric powder and Malvani masala, mixing well with the onions for about a minute.
5
Add the cleaned jawla to the pan and toss well to coat it with the spice mixture, roasting for 3-4 minutes.
6
Mix in the freshly grated coconut and salt to taste, ensuring all ingredients are well combined.
7
Cover the pan with a lid and let it cook on low heat for about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
8
Remove the lid, garnish with fresh coriander leaves, and serve hot with bhakri or rice.
