About the recipe
Rajasthani sabzis have a charm of their own. They are spicy, flavourful and make up such a homely meal that one feels like relishing them once in a while without fail! As Rajasthan has a dry climate, it is difficult to produce green vegetables round the year.
Hence, the people of Rajasthan use chickpea flour, whole wheat flour, lentils et al to make various sabzis, desserts and accompaniments such as Baati, Malwa Dal. When it comes to making Sabzis, Rajasthani Pitori Ki Sabzi is made in almost every household of Rajasthan.
And let me tell you, all these Rajasthani dishes are really delicious despite not being made from any green vegetable. I have visited Rajasthan very frequently for quite some years and have tasted a lot of the dishes from the cuisine and Papad Ghatiya Ki sabzi is one sabzi that I can never forget!
Now you might wonder how does a sabzi made from papad would taste like? Believe me, it is lip-smacking! All you need is urad dal papad, gathiya sev which is more of thick sev made from chickpea flour to make Papad Ghatiya ki Sabzi.
This recipe uses No Onion and No Garlic, and so it is also a good choice to make during Pooja days or for people who don’t eat onion and garlic. To make this sabzi, firstly, urad dal papad is boiled in water so that it becomes soft and then it is sautéed along with various spices.
Finally, this rich, tender, gravy gets ready in a blink of the eye and you can then serve it with phulkas or parathas! So, get ready, ladies, here’s the recipe of Papad Ghatiya ki Sabzi for you all:
