Steps

Preparation time-10 mins, Cooking time-9h

1

Wash the vegetables and peel them. Cut the potatoes into thin edges and cut the Ridge gourd lengthwise and quarter them, set aside
2

Soak Dal overnight, don’t discard the water, strain and add the Dal to a blender, add a little of the soaked water, salt, and 1 tsp sugar, and blend smooth. Set aside and whisk well, batter for dumplings are ready
3

In a heavy-bottomed wok heat mustard oil, take 1 Tbsp of the batter and add to the oil to fry the dumplings on medium heat. Flip sides after 1 min, set aside
4

In the same oil add potatoes and add 1 tsp turmeric powder, salt and fry on medium heat a little, set aside
5

Set aside a little of the oil. Add to the rest cumin seeds, let it splutter, add Hing infused water (1 Tbsp) into it, stir once, add a watery paste of cumin powder, red chili powder, turmeric powder, and add to the oil-Hing mix, stir once and add Ridge gourd, add green chilies, salt and stir. Water will be released.
6

Add 3-4 cups of water at this stage(dumplings tend to soak water and the consistency should be initially watery). Add fried potatoes, stir well and bring it to boil.
7

Add the dumplings and sugar, mix well, reduce the flame to cook the potatoes for 2 mins, stir and set aside.
8

Serve hot with steamed rice and enjoy 😊
