- 1 tsp Sugar
- 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
- 1 tbsp Oil
- Water as needed
- 1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder
- 2 tsp Coriander chopped
- 1 tbsp Sesame Seed
- 2 tsp Chili Powder
Instructions
Make the Methi Balls
- In a bowl, combine the dried fenugreek leaves, gram flour, whole wheat flour, salt, sugar, lemon juice, oil, turmeric powder, cilantro, sesame seeds, and chili powder.
- Gradually add water until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough for 2-3 minutes until smooth.
- Shape the dough into small balls. Set aside.
Prepare the Undhiyu
- Chop all the vegetables (sweet potato, yam, potato, eggplant, peas, carrots, pigeon peas, broad beans, banana) into bite-sized pieces.
- In a separate bowl, prepare the spice paste by combining the chopped green garlic, cilantro, green chili, ginger, grated coconut, turmeric powder, and garam masala.
- Add the chopped vegetables, salt, sugar, raisins, sesame seeds, oil, and lemon juice to the spice paste. Mix well to coat the vegetables evenly. Marinate for 15 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld.
- Stuff the spice mixture into the eggplants and chilies. This intensifies the flavor within these vegetables.
- Transfer the marinated vegetables and methi balls to a microwave-safe dish. Add 1 cup of water.
- Microwave on high for 6 minutes. Stir the vegetables and add more hot water if needed. Microwaving in stages ensures even cooking.
- Microwave again for another 6 minutes. Check for doneness; the vegetables should be tender. Continue microwaving in short bursts if needed.
- Serve hot and enjoy your Quick & Easy Microwave Undhiyu!
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- Normally, undhiyu requires more oil, but this microwave version uses significantly less.
Expert Tips
- For a richer flavor, you can add a pinch of asafoetida (hing) to the undhiyu while cooking.
- Adjust the cooking time based on your microwave's power. Check for doneness and add more time in short bursts if needed.
- Traditionally, undhiyu is slow-cooked in an earthen pot. While the microwave version is quicker, consider trying the traditional method for a different flavor profile.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover undhiyu in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop before serving.
