- Step 5: Add 200 g of shredded cabbage, 100 g of chopped green beans, and 100 g of diced capsicum to the pan. Mix well, then add 250 ml of water and 1 tsp of salt. Cover and cook for 10-12 minutes on medium heat until the vegetables are tender but not overcooked.
- Step 6: While the curry simmers, prepare the Jowar Bhakri. Combine 200 g of Jowar flour with warm water in a mixing bowl to form a soft dough.
