    Undhiyu – A favorite and a famous Gujarati dish prepared with winter vegetables. This recipe goes with both rice and roti. Today, I am going to share how to make Gujarati Undhiyu with store-bought frozen undhiyu veggie mix with step by step pictures.

    Welcome to the second week of this “Buffet on the table” marathon. This week’s theme is food from the Indian States. I think I can breathe now ;-) Not as hard as last week right? Also, this sub-theme helped me clean my drafts and post all those North/East/West/Central Indian recipes that I had stacked up. So the first one is from Gujarat. I had wholly modified the original recipe according to my convenience. But its still Undhiyu only. ;-)

    As I mentioned above, it is a seasonal dish as we get the veggies only during winter. I tasted this dish after coming to the US and loved it right away. My personal preference is to have this dish with rice. The traditional recipe calls for homemade muthiyas (methi and besan dumplings) along with the veggies. But I skipped the muthiyas in mine. You need to make the chilly coconut paste and coat the veggies with it and slow cook for a long time. (No I didn’t use slow cooker this time, only pressure cooker)

    During weekdays I don’t have enough time for preparing the traditional undhiyu from scratch. Also here in the US, I don’t get the undhiyu vegetables always. So I started using the Undhiyu mix pack but I grind the masala fresh every time. Errr I know it’s not traditional, but on weekdays I think going semi-traditional is ok ;-) ;-) 

    Back to the recipe now and here is my version of undhiyu,

      A classic dish. I have postponed so far from making undhiyu since it seems tedious. I think I have seen that frozen undhiyu veg mix but it never occurred to me to buy one. :)

      I made Undhiyu with that frozen mix years ago, but it didn’t turn out that well. I’m definitely going to buy it again and will try your version. Your undhiyu looks delicious.

      The undhiyu looks lovely, the frozen veggies are a boon. But let me tell you that here they never serve Undhiyu with rice, it is either roti or Poori…Baakhri also is served, but rice..no never.
      I wish you added muthias, they taste awesome in Undhiyu.

        Yeah Vaishali. I totally agree but it was just my personal preference. When I had it for the first time I had with roti only. ;-)
