‘Singyun (सिङयूँ) Tamate mein‘ literally means the drumstick pods or sehjan ki phalli, (cooked) in a tomato gravy. It is considered one of the best dishes to have when you need to consume something nutritious and light on tummy. It is also mandatory for the new mothers to consume drumstick pods/flowers as a part of healing and nourishing ‘Viyam Ja Khaada‘ or the post partum diet for the first forty days after child birth. Though while making it for the lactating mothers (for 40 days) the recipe varies a bit , this is a very basic recipe and one can use vegetables of choice, instead of drumsticks. Singyun Tamate mein Recipe Video: And though ridge gourd, smooth gourd, apple gourds (Tinde), potatoes are some of the popular options, this ‘Tamate mein’ style curry could be made using plenty of other seasonal vegetables. Personally, I prefer onion tomato based curries i.e ‘Daag^ mein’ over the tomato based curries but I do make it occasionally when I need to make a quick side dish with dal and rice or with the runny Khichdi. And oh! Singyun Tamate mein is the dish for the 41st Consonant of the AlifBe of Sindhi Food series. The consonant is ڱ in Sindhi, ङ in Devanagari and ‘ng‘ (or G~), as in ‘SiNGing’, in Roman Sindhi. Perhaps no word begins with this consonant and hence I have picked ‘Singyun Tamate mein’ for this peculiar consonant.

Ingredients 3 small Tomatoes 2 Drumsticks 1-2 Green chilli/es 1 inch piece Ginger 7-8 Curry leaves 1 tbsp Cumin seeds 2-3 Green Cardamoms 1 tsp Turmeric ½ tsp Red chilli powder 1 heaped tbsp Coriander powder 2 tbsp Oil/Ghee Water 1 Cup (Or approx. 225 ml) Coriander leaves for garnish Method Rinse with water, scrape off the outer layer slightly and cut drumsticks into 2 inch pieces each. Blend tomatoes, chillies and ginger to make a fine paste or you can just grate tomatoes and chop chilies and ginger. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a pressure cooker. Add curry leaves followed by cumin seeds and slightly crushed green cardamoms. When the cumin seeds turn brown, add tomato chilli paste. Add salt, turmeric, chilli powder and coriander powder. Mix and add drumsticks. Cook (Bhuno) for 5-6 minutes or till the oil separates out. Add a cup or so of water. Add coriander leaves and close the pressure cooker with the lid. Cook on medium flame and wait for one whistle of the pressure cooker. Switch off the flame. When the pressure subsides, open the lid and check the consistency of the gravy. Heat further if you require thicker gravy, or add some boiling water if you need soupy gravy. Garnish with more coriander leaves before serving. A dash of freshly pounded black pepper enhances the flavor of the gravy. In that case, reduce the quantities of green chillies and red chilli powder. If making for the lactating mother, exclude turmeric and red chilli powder (for 40 days). 3.5.3251 Want to learn how to write Sindhi Alphabets?Just follow these simple tutorials about Arabic Sindhi alphabets and see if Devanagari and Roman Sindhi (English) alphabets given alongside make it easier for you to understand Sindhi or not!

Not only the pods of Drumstick tree are used in Sindhi cuisine, but the flowers; both fresh and dried are used to make delicious stir fries, semi dry subzi, raita etc. The pods, known as singhyun in Sindhi are added to the various curries like Sindhi Kadhi, ToorDal Kadhi, Seyal Bhaji, Singhyun patata and Bhughal Singhyun . What does the term Bhughal in Sindhi means? Bhughal means that the vegetable or meat is bhuno-ed till all the mositure is dried up and the technique imparts amazing flavors of spices to the vegetable or meat. Starting with cooking on high heat, the drumsticks are then cooked on medium or low heat till done. The caramelized onions, cooked tomatoes and humble spices render a lovely colour and flavor to this humble dish. The bhughal singhyun have very little of gravy and is generally served as a side dish with Dal and rice. Like most of the Sindhi curries, this dish too doesn’t ask for any grinding or blending. Easy to cook and flavorsome, using minimum spices…what more can one ask for?

This is known as 'taro lagarn' in Sindhi, and is a nice way of adding caramelized flavors to the curry and it also imparts great colour to the dish. Cook on high to medium heat till all the moisture is absorbed. Now add around 1½ cup of water and fresh coriander leaves and cook on slow flame,covering the pan with a lid. Cook till the drumsticks are tender and done. Adjust the consistency of the gravy. It is an almost dry dish with little of gravy.
