Indian Cooking Recipe: Razmah Goagji
The following are the instructions on how to cook delicious Indian food: Razmah Goagji
Ingredients:
1. Turnips 2 kgs
2. Dried beans 250 gm
3. Mustard oil 2 tbsps
4. Red chilli powder 1 tsp
5. Cloves 2
6. Jeera 1/2 tsp
7. Asafeotida a pinch
8. Salt about 1 tsp
9. Vari Masala 10 Gms
Method of Preparation:
Clean, wash and soak the beans in a liter of water, for about 12 hours before cooking. Wash the turnips. Cut off the green tops. Pare and quarter these. Then cut each quarter horizontally, if the pieces are too big, into halves, so that each piece is about the size of a walnut, or a little bigger. Shave off the sharp corners and edges of each piece. The green tops, parings, and these shavings, are very nutritious, and are cooked separately.
Heat the oil, till the foam settles, in the body of a pressure cooker. Add cloves, cumin seeds and asafeotida. Stir and then add the soaked beans, along with the water in which these were soaked. Boil under full pressure for 15 minutes. Remove the cooker from heat and let it cool till the pressure comes to normal. Then remove lid.
Add the dressed turnip pieces after washing, also the chilli powder and the salt. Close the lid and again pressure cook for 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. Open the lid, add crushed Vari Masala and mix gently with a ladle, and serve hot after transferring to a bowl.
If a pressure cooker is not available, the beans require more time to get tender. In that case the soaked beans and turnip pieces are cooked together, from the very beginning.
