Does authentic UNDHIYO have dal in the recipe?!


Question: Calling all Gujarati cooks: I had undhiyo at a friend's place the other day and it was very tasty. She said she added dal to the recipe, but I dont remember if this authentic or just her yummy version. If anyone knows for sure and has a good traditional recipe, please respond.

PS: Please dont cut and paste recipes or links off the internet, I am more than capable of doing my own research using google or yahoo (or any other search engine)!!

thanks.

Authentic undhiyo does not have dal in it so it must have been your friend's version of undhiyo :)

As for recipe...I don't have a exact recipe down to the last teaspoon of salt so to speak...but having lived in surat for about 10 yrs...I learnt a couple of key tricks.

Make sure you use lots of FRESH garlic...definitely not the readymade ginger - garlic paste stuff. You will be surprised what a difference fresh garlic makes.

Also all the spicyness should really come from just green chillies...suratis are known for using "lilo masalo" i.e green masala or spices

Collecting all the veggies for undhiyu can be kinda daunting...so depending where you live...you might be able to find frozen unhiyu mix veggies by Ashoka. Makes life a lot easier and making undhiyu a snap :)

Hope this helps.
