Thumaro
Thumaro is a garlic based kadhi
Ingredients
  • Garlic -1 whole pod
  • Fresh green garlic (4-5 stalks with bulbs)
  • Green chillies 2-3
  • Mustard seeds 2 tsp
  • Tamarind pulp 2-3 tsp (more or less as per your taste)
  • Sliced or cubed vegetables like Radish and Potato (I used 2 potatoes and one small Radish)
  • Jowar flour 1tbsp
  • Gram flour- 1 cup
  • Red chilly powder ½ tsp
  • Oil 2 tsp
  • Water, a litre or more
  • Coriander leaves for garnishing
Method
  1. Pound peeled garlic cloves and fresh garlic. Save 2-3 tsp for besan dumplings/rolls and use the rest of pounded garlic (including fresh garlic) in kadhi.
  2. In a bowl take 1 tbsp of Jowar flour and gradually add some water, mixing it well to assure no lumps are formed.
  3. In a pan or a sipri, heat around 2 tsp of oil and add mustard seeds and allow to crackle. Add pounded garlic and saute till aromatic. Do not let the garlic burn.
  4. Add sliced radish and potato chunks and add the jowar flour paste, turmeric, chopped chillies and about a litre of water
  5. Add tamarind pulp, salt and let it boil for few minutes on high flame.
  6. Lower the flame and let the kadhi simmer.
  7. Meanwhile add some salt, some crushed garlic that you have set aside for besan dumplings and some red chilly powder to the gram flour and knead a stiff dough using little water. You can use jowar flour instead but I prefer besan here.
  8. Make small oblong rolls of this dough (yields 6-7 rolls) and drop them in the simmering kadhi.
  9. Cook until potato and besan rolls are cooked from the center (anywhere between 20-30 minutes
  10. Add water if required! This kadhi is of dilute consistency. Adjust the seasoning.
  11. Garnish with some chopped coriander leaves and enjoy it as a soup to warm yourself or pour it over some Khichdi or rice and have a hearty meal
