Instructions
 

  • To begin making the Lal Mathachi Bhaji Recipe, let's start prepping the leaves - Wash the Mathachi Bhaji over running water and drain all the water.
  • Chop the leaves along with the tender stem and keep aside.
  • Into a pressure cooked, add the chopped amaranth leaves, the moong sprouts, a pinch of salt and 3 tablespoons water. Pressure cooks for 3 to 4 whistles and turn off the heat.
  • Release the pressure immediately to prevent the discoloration of the leaves.
  • Heat oil in sautéing pan over medium heat; add mustard seeds and a pinch of hing and allow it to crackle.
  • Once it crackles, add the chopped garlic, onions and cook until the onions turn translucent.
  • Stir in red chilli powder, turmeric powder, jaggery and the steamed amaranth leaves and the moong sprouts.
  • Stir the Lal Mathachi Bhaji for about 2 minutes until all the ingredients are well combined. Check the salt and spices and adjust to taste accordingly.
  • Once the Lal Mathachi Bhaji is done, turn off the heat and transfer to a serving bowl.
  • Serve the Lal Mathachi Bhaji Recipe along with Multigrain Methi Thepla Recipe and Kela Anar Raita Recipe for a simple and delicious diabetic friendly meal.
