Sweet & Spicy Ambila Recipe is a recipe from Orissa cuisine, which can also be termed as 'Oriya Mixed Veg Sabzi' that is packed with delicious medley of vegetables cooked in a sweet and sour yogurt and tomato based gravy and seasoned with panch phoran.

Odisha Style Ambila is a traditional recipe prepared during Laxmi Puja as well.

Note: This recipe is an adaptation of the classic recipe. The method of cooking and styles will differ from home to home. Here is my variation where I have cooked it in a very simple way in the pressure cooker and the taste is absolutely delicious. 

Serve Sweet & Spicy Ambila Recipe along with Steamed Rice and a dollop of Ghee for a perfect weekday lunch

Instructions for Oriya Style Ambila Recipe - Sweet & Spicy Mixed Vegetable Sabzi

    1

    To begin making Ambila Recipe, prepare all the ingredients and keep them ready.

    2

    Soak the tamarind in hot water for 15 minutes and extract the tamarind water from the pulp. You will get approximately 1/2 cup of tamarind water. Keep aside.

    3

    In a bowl, add curd/dahi, besan and 1/4 cup water and stir to combine well until there are no lumps. Keep aside. 

    4

    Heat mustard oil in a pressure cooker over medium heat. Add the garlic and green chillies along with the tomatoes. Saute the tomatoes until it becomes soft and mushy. Add the panch phoran masala, turmeric powder and red chilli powder.

    5

    Saute for a few seconds. Add the tamarind water, stir in the salt and the cut vegetables. 

    6

    Cover the pressure cooker and pressure cook the Oriya Ambila for 2 to 3 whistles and turn off the heat. Once done allow the pressure to release naturally.

    7
