Instructions
- Wash and soak the Jowar overnight or for minimum of 8-10 hours.
- Once Soaked pressure cook it for 5-6 whistles. It takes time to get soft.
- Or In a heavy bottom pan cook them in boiling water. This will take time, I cannot tell the time, as I use pressure cook method.
- Do not throw the water in which Jowar is boiled, we would need it.
- In a wok or a pan add in the oil.
- Once hot add the Asafoetida, cumin seeds and mustard.
- Let the seeds crackle. Once it splutters add the curry leaves, onion, garlic and ginger and let it cook for 3-4 minutes on medium until translucent.
- Then add in the vegetables, tomatoes and let them cook for 3-4 minutes.
- Now add the Jowar, Salt, coriander, Chili and 1 Cup of water (I used the water in which I boiled Jowar)
- Let this cook on medium for 10-12 minutes stirring in between until the Jowar is cooked.
- If in case the Jowar is not done during boiling, add enough water while making the pulao and let it simmer on slow for 10-12 minutes. It will get cooked.
- Serve hot
Notes
- The Jowar will have a slight crunch to it, it will not be very soft or mushy.
- If you need it more soft you need to boil or cook it for more time.
- One can use vegetables of choice.
- If you want to make No onion No Garlic simply skip them and after the tadka add the vegetables.
- Asafoetida (Hing) powder available in shops contains wheat and is not gluten free. Gluten intolerant people can either skip completely or opt for Gluten Free Asafoetida (Hing)
