A yet another lovely looking innovative Kadhi by me wherein I used a fusion of Vegetables plus the Gram Flour. In this version of it, Gram Flour or Besan is used instead of Rice Flour or Chawal ka Aata.
It's made with Drumsticks, Okra and also French Beans. But in this particular one that iam sharing here, I have used Drumsticks or Sojni ki Phalli as it is called in Hyderabad along with Okra or Bhindi.
A yummy side dish to many an important meals of the day, it is quite easy to make too. It can be made with or without the meat thereby making it a healthy dish with Vegetable and Non-Vegetable options.
It can be relished with plain boiled Rice alongside some Poppadoms or Papads, Hyderabadi Shami Kababs, Hyderabadi Tala huwa Gosht, Hyderabadi Dum ka Kheema etc.
It can be enjoyed on it's own because it's actually a one pot meal with meat and Vegetables. Anyways the serving suggestions are completely one's own choice and preferences.

Enjoy Cooking with Zeen!

Steps

35-40 minutes

1

Wash and marinate mutton with all the spices. Keep it aside until the rest of the preparations are made. Slice the onions thinly. Wash and cut the drumsticks into 3 inch long pieces. Also cut each okra into 2 or 3 pieces. Chop the tomatoes. In a pressure cooker, heat the oil and saute the onions first. After about 4 minutes, add the marinated mutton to it.
2

Saute it for the next 2 to 3 minutes. Finally add the tomatoes and allow it to simmer for 5 more minutes.
3

Next pressure cook this using a cup of water for 7 whistles. After the pressure settles down, open the lid and add the veggies. Mix besan or gram flour well in a little amount of water.
4

Add this slurry to the curry. Half cover and cook on a medium flame for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, add the thin tamarind pulp. Soak tamarind in enough water and squeeze out the liquid and add it to the curry. Infact add the flour slurry to the tamarind water itself and mix until lumpfree.
5

Let the raw smell of the tamarind vanish. Cover and simmer on a low to medium flame for the next 16 to 18 minutes. Keep checking and stirring all the while. The gram flour or besan powder added to the curry makes it thick. I added the flour to the tamarind water to make a slurry.
6

Therefore add hot water accordingly and adjust the consistency as per your liking. It is usually semi-thick and it is a desirable consistency liked by all Hyderabadis. The thinner consistency ruins the taste, so add water accordingly.
7

Adjust Salt at this stage. Garnish with Coriander Leaves and serve hot with Rice, Phulkas, Chapatis and Zeera Rice. Enjoy!

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
