Even when you have not had time to go to the market, the chances of having a bunch of coriander in your refrigerator is very high, because it is a very commonly used ingredient. So, here is a whacky subzi that you can prepare with this everyday herb. While the use of coriander gives it a zesty, herby feel, besan gives this subzi a homely texture and flavour. Together with a simple but aromatic tempering, these ingredients give rise to a fabulous Dhania ki Subzi that the whole family will love.
Heat the oil in a deep non-stick kadhai and add the mustard seeds.
When the seeds crackle, add the turmeric powder, chilli powder, asafoetida, coriander, besan, sugar, salt and 1 tbsp of water, mix well and cover and cook on a medium flame for 2 to 3 minutes, while stirring occasionally.
