Ingredients:
Capsicums – 2
Cabbages – 1/2
Carrots – 2
French beans – 15
Spring Onions – 5
Ginger – 1 inch
Garlic – 5
Green Chillies – 15
Curry Leaves – 15
Coriander – 1 bunch
Black pepper – 1 tsp
All purpose flour (Maida) – 3 cups
Corn flour – 1 cup
Salt – 1 tbsp
Oil – 3 tbsp
Yogurt – 250 gm
Edible Color (Red) – 1/4 tsp
Preparation:
Finely chop all the vegetables. Reserve chopped onions for later use. Now boil the chopped vegetables in sufficient water except ginger, garlic, chillies and coriander. Drain broth into a container and it can be drank with a dash of salt and pepper powder. Now add salt, black pepper powder, chopped ginger, garlic, 3/4th of chillies, corn & all purpose flour to the boiled vegetables and mix it well. Meanwhile heat oil in a pan for deep frying. Now make small dumplings and drop them into oil. Fry them for a couple of minutes and take them aside.
Now, add color and half a cup of water to yogurt and make it into thick buttermilk. Make sure it is not free flowing, we just need it to be loose rather than curdled. Heat oil in another pan and add rest of the chopped chillies and onions for a minute. Add yogurt and after a minute add the fried vegetable balls. Keep mixing it well for a couple of minutes. Add coriander before switching the stove off and serve hot with ketchup or chilly sauce.
