Ingredients

Method

For the green chutney

For the garlic chutney

For the sweet and sour sauce

Blend all the ingredients except coriander in a liquidiser. If too thick, add enough water to get the right consistency. Keep aside.

How to proceed

String the papadi. Do not separate into two.
Peel the kand and cut into big pieces.
Cut the potatoes and sweet potatoes without peeling.
Make slits on the brinjals.
Mix all the vegetables. Apply the ajwain, chilli-ginger paste, soda bi-carb and salt. Mix thoroughly and apply the oil all over.
In a small earthen pot (matka), put a few leaves of lettuce at the bottom. Fill with all the vegetables and cover with the balance lettuce leaves.
Cover the matka with an earthen lid and bake in a hot oven at 200 degree c (400 degree f) for 1 hour.
Alternatively, instead of cooking in a matka, wrap the vegetable mixture (without lettuce leaves) in alluminium foil and bake in a hot oven at 200 degree c (400 degree f) for 1 hour.
Serve with green and garlic chutneys and sweet and sour sauce, oil and sev.
