Ingredients
Measurement Details: 1 cup = 240 ml; 1 tbsp = 15 ml ; 1 tsp - 5ml;
Ingredients for ground paste:
- ½ cup coconut
- ½ cup edamame beans
- 1 dried chili
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- ¼ tsp turmeric
- 1 tbsp rasam powder
- 1 tsp tamarind paste
For curry:
- 510 grams edamame 2 packs ready-to-eat
- 2 tsp oil
- ½ tsp mustard seeds
- ½ tsp cumin seeds
- Pinch asafoetida
- ¼ tsp fenugreek
- 10 curry leaves
- ⅓ cup onion optional
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 cup water divided
- Small piece of jaggery
- ¼ cup cilantro
Instructions
- Rinse the ready-to-eat edamame beans and soak till ready to use.
- Into a blender, add: half a cup of coconut, half a cup of edamame beans, one dried chili, one teaspoon of cumin seeds, a quarter teaspoon of turmeric, one tablespoon of rasam powder, and one teaspoon of tamarind paste. Grind it into a smooth paste and set aside.
- Heat about two teaspoons of oil in a pan or kadai. Once it’s hot, add half a teaspoon of mustard seeds, half a teaspoon of cumin seeds, a pinch of asafoetida, and a quarter teaspoon of fenugreek seeds. Let them splutter, then add a few curry leaves and a third cup of chopped onion. Cook until the onions turn translucent.
- Next, drain the soaked edamame and add it in. Sprinkle two teaspoons of salt, add about half a cup of water, and let it cook for just a few minutes. Since the edamame is already pre-cooked, this step is primarily to allow the flavors to absorb.
- Now stir in the ground masala. Add another half cup of water and a small piece of jaggery to balance the flavors. Bring everything to a gentle boil, then finish with a quarter cup of fresh cilantro. And that’s it – our delicious edamame huli saaru is ready!
