Method
- Heat a pressure cooker, add mustard leaves, spinach leaves, bathua leaves, turnip, carrot, ginger, garlic, green chillies, salt and 1 cup water and mix well. Cook on medium heat for 1 whistle. Reduce the heat to low and cook on low heat for 20-25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, to make the dough, take cornmeal in a bowl, add whole wheat flour, coriander leaves, salt and 1 cup warm water and knead into a soft dough. Cover with a damp muslin cloth and set aside for 10-15 minutes.
- Take the cooker off the heat and allow the pressure to reduce completely.
- Dust the worktop with some cornmeal, take a small portion of the dough and shape it into a ball. Press it and place it on the worktop, press it and spread it with your fingers and shape it into a disc. Dust off the excess flour.
- Heat a non-stick tawa. Place the disc on it and cook on high heat for 1-2 minutes on each side. Apply some ghee and cook for a few seconds on both sides. Make more rotis with the remaining dough.
- Open the cooker and mash it well with a wooden churner. Add cornmeal and mix well. Switch the heat on and continue to mash and cook for 6-8 minutes.
- Blend the mixture with an electric hand blender till smooth.
- To make the tempering, heat ghee in a deep pan. Add fenugreek seeds and onion, mix and saute till translucent. Add ginger and garlic and mix well. Add red chilli powder, mix and cook for 1 minute.
- Add the cooked mixture and mix well. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
