Sai Bhaji is a traditional Sindhi recipe. This dish is a powerhouse of nutrients as it is a combination of green leafy vegetables and dal. It is best served hot with rotis or pulav. Check out Ruchi Bharani’s take on this popular Sindhi dish.
Ingredients:
Indian sorrel, chopped
Spinach Leaves, chopped
1 tsp cumin seeds
2 tsp Asefoetida
2 medium size onions, chopped
1 1/2 tsp garlic, chopped
1 1/2 tsp ginger, chopped
Bottel gourd, chopped
Aubergine, chopped
Potatoes, chopped
Tomatoes, chopped
1 bowl of soaked Gram Dal
1 tsp finely chopped green chilli
Salt to taste
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp red chilli powder

Method:
– Heat oil in a pressure cooker.
– Once the oil is hot, add the cumin seeds, asafoetida, onions, ginger and garlic and saute the ingredients for a couple of minutes.
– Cook the onion for about 2 minutes but make sure that they do not turn brown.
– Add the bottle gourd (soaked in water), aubergines and potatoes and cook them for a couple of minutes.
– Add the tomatoes and mix well.
– Add the gram dal (chana dal), green chillies, khatta bhaji and the spinach leaves and stir well.

– Add water and cover the pressure cooker with a lid. Let it cook until 1 whistle on high flame and then for 10 minutes on low flame.
– Once done, turn off the flame and let the pressure cooker cool down for at least 15 – 20 minutes.
– Once you open the lid, slightly mash the bhaji with a masher.
– Sai bhaji is ready to be served.

i love to try this recipe. wht kind of vegetables v can use instead of bottle gourd and aubergine?!
this is a lovely recipe. its more like “ambadichi bhaji” which we maharashtrian prepare. thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe just like you.
I remember having tried it 15yrs. bk from cook book wen I was a school girl, enthusiastic about cooking. It was a total disaster, making me reconsider the thought of cooking again in life. I continued to cook , however still Scared to try it.
