Preparing Tavo (Undhiyu)

  • Then add 1 tbsp jaggery, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and some coriander leaves. Mix well.
  • Serve the spicy Tavo (Undhiyu) with chapdi.

Making Chapdi

  • In a bowl, mix 2 cups of coarse wheat flour, 1 tsp cumin seeds, 1 tsp fennel seeds, 1 tbsp white sesame seeds, and 4 tbsp oil. Ensure the dough is moist and binds together.
  • Add hot water as required and knead the dough until tight. Take some dough and roll chapdi into round shapes with your hand. Make all chapdi in the same way.
  • Heat oil on medium flame, add chapdi, and fry on medium-low flames till they become crispy and golden brown on both sides.
  • Chapdi is ready. Keep it aside.

Notes

For tavo (undhiyu)
  • A pinch of sugar helps retain the green color when pressure-cooking green dana.
  • The proportion of methi leaves and flour should be equal.
  • Adding slightly coarse flour to the muthiya mixture provides softness and crispiness to the muthiya.
  • Fry the muthiya on medium flame; avoid frying them on low flame.
  • Sweet potatoes and potatoes contain a high amount of starch, so fry them on medium flame until they become crispy on the outside.
  • Instead of using chopped onions and tomatoes, using onion and tomato paste gives a good flavor to the undhiyu gravy.
  • You can substitute 1 tbsp of garam masala for undhiyu masala.
  • Crushed muthiya adds thickness and texture to the undhiya gravy.
For chapdi
  • Knead a tight dough for chapdi.
  • Fry the chapdi on a low-medium flame until crispy on both sides.
