To begin making the Valor Muthia Nu Shaak, prepare all the ingredients and keep ready.
For the Methi Muthia, in a small bowl combine the chopped methi leaves, gram flour, wheat flour, turmeric powder, sugar, asafoetida powder, eno fruit salt, lemon juice, oil and salt to taste to make the muthia. Add very little water to make firm dough. Divide the dough into 15 small portions. Shape them in ovals and lightly press them down.
You can choose to steam the muthia’s in a steamer on high heat for 10 minutes or pan fry in a paniyaram Pan. Add little oil into each of the cavities of the paniyaram pan on medium heat.
Place the muthias in the cavity and pan fry them until golden brown and lightly crisp on all sides.
Once done, remove from the pan and proceed making the remaining muthia. Keep aside.
The next step is to make the Valor Muthia nu Shaak. Heat a teaspoon of oil in the pressure cooker medium heat; add the ajwain seeds, mustard seeds and asafoetida.
When the seeds crackle, add the ginger and garlic and saute for a few seconds. Add the chopped tomatoes, turmeric powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, chilli powder, jaggery and salt and sauté for a few seconds.
Stir in the brinjal, the cut flat beans and 1/4 cup of water. Cover the pressure cooker, place the weight on and pressure cook until you hear a couple of whistles. After a couple of whistles, turn off the heat.
Release the pressure immediately by placing the cooker under cold running water or lifting the weight with a fork. This process helps to release the pressure immediately and also stops the cooking process of the Valor Muthia nu Shaak. By stopping the cooking process, the beans and the eggplant retain its rich color.
Open the cooker, and you will notice a semi gravy like consistency of the Valor Muthia nu Shaak. Check the salt and adjust to taste accordingly.
At this stage, add the methi muthia. Turn the heat back on and simmer until the dumplings absorb the juices. Once done, turn off the heat, transfer the Valor Muthia nu Shaak to a serving bowl, garnish with chopped coriander leaves and serve hot.
Serve the Valor Muthia nu Shaak along with Gujarati Kadhi and Ragi Phulkas for a delicious meal.
