Dhaniya ki Sabji
by Tarla Dalal
Even when you have not had time to go to the market, the chances of having a bunch of coriander in your refrigerator is very high, because it is a very commonly used ingredient. So, here is a whacky subzi that you can prepare with this everyday herb. While the use of coriander gives it a zesty, herby feel, besan gives this subzi a homely texture and flavour. Together with a simple but aromatic tempering, these ingredients give rise to a fabulous Dhania ki Subzi that the whole family will love.

making Dhaniya ki Sabji
- Heat 1 1/2 tbsp oil in a deep non-stick kadhai. Use coconut oil instead of processed seed oils like soyabean oil, canola, sunflower oil, corn oil and other omega-6 rich oils should be used in very low amounts.
- Add 1 tsp mustard seeds ( rai / sarson).
- Let the seeds crackle.
- Add 1/4 tsp turmeric powder (haldi).
- Add 1 tsp chilli powder.
- Add 1/4 tsp asafoetida (hing).
- Add 2 cups chopped coriander (dhania). Coriander is a fairly good source of iron and folate – the 2 nutrients which help in the production and maintenance of red blood cells in our blood. Good for reducing cholesterol and good for diabetics.
- Add 4 1/2 tbsp besan (bengal gram flour). Besan acts as a natural thickener for the sabzi, creating a slightly viscous and flavorful sauce that coats the coriander leaves nicely. This prevents the dish from being watery and adds a pleasant body to it. While not the main source of protein or nutrients, besan does add a small amount of protein.
- Add 1/2 tsp sugar (optional)
- Add salt to taste. We added xx tsp salt.
- Add 1 tbsp of water.
- Mix well.
- Cover and cook on a medium flame for 2 to 3 minutes, while stirring occasionally.

Unusual subzi, only using dhania. Used simple ingredients to make this which is readily available in every house. I liked it a lot.
Brilliant recipe..
