DAHi Papad ki Sabzi – Papadum curry

Dahi Papad ki Sabzi is a yogurt based curry made using Papadums. Dahi Papad ki Sabzi is well known curry from Rajasthan and is super simple to make and goes really well with Bajre ki roti and huge glass of Chaas. I made dahi papad ki sabzi with roasted papads which is how authentically it is made. But you could also make it with deep fried papadums. I love the burnt edges of the papad in the curry and the flavour it brings to the sabzi .

Ingredients

2 – Urad dal Papad, roasted directly on the flame

1 – Onion, medium sized , finely chopped

1 – Tomato, medium sized, finely chopped

1/2 cup – Thick yogurt

1 tsp – Jeera

1 tsp – Ginger garlic paste

1 tsp- Turmeric

1.5 tsp – Red chilly powder or as per your taste

1 tsp – roasted jeera powder

1 tsp – Coriander powder

2 Tbsp – Oil

Salt to taste

1 tsp – sugar

Juice of half a lemon

Coriander leaves to garnish

Method

Break the papads into big pieces

In a pan heat oil and add jeera to it. Let it crackle

Add ginger garlic paste and let it turn brown.

Now add chopped onion and saute on high flame till it turns brown on the edges.

Add tomato, salt, turmeric, red chilly powder, jeera powder and coriander powder and mix well. Keep the flame high.

Cover the pan and let the tomatoes soften enough to be mashed. If the tomatoes start burning just sprinkle some water and cover the lid again.

Once the tomatoes are well cooked and the oil separates, mash the tomato with the back of your spoon.

Add whipped yogurt to this and cook on high till the oil separates. Make sure you keep stirring the curry to avoid curdling.

Once the yogurt is cooked and the gravy thickened , add papad pieces and cook for just a minute.

Add a little water to get the consistency right. That is thick and creamy.

Add chopped coriander, sugar and give it a good mix.

Serve it hot with roti of your choice.
