Ambade Bhaji

Ambade chi bhaji is a dry curry made with Gongura leaves. This healthy side goes great with Chapathi. Here is my mom-in-law's recipe for this dish.

Recipe:
Ingredients:

Gongura Leaves - 2 cup
Rice - 1 small cup  (this is used to make rice rava and we only need 1 cup of rice rava for this dish).
Oil - 5 tsp
Garlic - 4 pods (crushed)
Green chilly - 4
Salt - to taste

Preparation:

1. Take gongura leafy vegetable and remove the leaves. Wash it thoroughly and chop the leaves and keep it aside.
2. Boil the gongura leaves in water. After boiling it for 2 mins, the color would change. At that point, drain the water.  This helps remove some sourness from this leafy vegetable.
3. Next wash rice and dry it. Make rava with this rice by grinding it in mixer into a fine powder. Only 1 small cup of this rice rava is needed for this dish.
4. After the gongura leaves cool, add the rice rava to it and mix well.
5. Heat oil, add crushed garlic and green chilly.
6. Once it fries a bit, add the gongura - rice rava to the tadka. 
7. Put water and let it cook on low flame until the rava blows up.
8. Add salt as per taste.

Ambade Bhaji is ready to be served with roti.
