Kar Sangri, one of Rajasthan's most popular dishes. The Berries of the Khejri tree and the slender Sangri beans makes for a perfect piquant dish. Sangri beans also known as the Dessert beans are nutty in flavour and gives rise to spice notes like those of Cinnamon and Mocha. Hence it is often used in Pickles, Curries and Chutneys.
It is one of the most mouthwatering delicacies of Rajasthan. Kar Sangri originated on the arid land of Rajasthan and evolved as Vegetable dish now popular in almost every Marwari wedding. People from other States too have tried this in their kitchens one time or the other. For me, it's a total comfort food. I mainly love it with Jowar or Bajra Rotis.
It is one of the most sought after dishes on the Rajasthani menu and have rich history associated to it. For this dish, Panchkutta as goes the name is named such because of the 5 important dried ingredients that go into it's making. When cooked together, this gives rise to the popular Rajasthani delicacy.

Steps

25-30 minutes

1

Wash ker berries for two to three times. Wash them thoroughly to remove all the dirt. Soak overnight in enough water along with dry gundha and kumatiya as well. Also soak dry amchur in some water. They get doubled in quantity after soaking. Wash them again two to three times and add to the cooker.
2

In the same way, wash sangri beans too. Soak them overnight as well. After soaking them, wash them thoroughly for twice or thrice again to remove all the dirt. Add soaked ker, sangri, gundha and kumatiya to the cooker. Add one fourth teaspoon of salt,1 bay leaf and 2 dry red chillies too. Pressure cook for 6-7 whistles.
3

Allow the pressure to settle down before opening the lid of the cooker. Drain and set aside. Both ker and sangri are well cooked.
4

Take a deep pan. Heat oil or ghee. Add, cumin seeds, ajwain, hing and dry red chillies. Fry for a few seconds. Now add the cooked ker and sangri both. Also add Red chilli, turmeric and coriander powders too. Also add soaked amchur, raisins, curd and the remaining salt. Mix well.
5

Cover and cook on a medium high heat for 10-12 minutes. Delicious ker sangri sabzi is ready. I didn't keep it dry. It is one's own choice. My family loves semi dry ker sangri sabzi. So I always keep it that way. Serve it piping hot immediately alongside healthy homemade jowar or bajra rotis. 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.
