Notes

  • Generally in Odisha this dish is prepared using different vegetable like parval,french beans,potaotes,brinjal,carrot…but we are licing in Jakarta…here all vegetables not available
     
  • So I have added these…abu siam has similar flavor as little gourd(tondli) so I have added.
     
  • If you don’t like you can go with only potato,cauliflower also.
  •  If you feel the vegetable mixture is little dry add more water.
  • But if you feel the mixture is little watery then add little more rice flour so that it is well coated.
