Hi Chetna,

As someone else had mentioned, you could possibly put all the ingredients into apressure cooker.

[Reply]

Chetna Reply:January 26th, 2012 at 8:14 pm

Hi Hetal

Putting all the ingredients in pressure cooker is fine, but what abt stuffed brinjal,wont it become soggy and break. As when it is full it look yummy…

hetal Reply:February 1st, 2012 at 9:19 pm

Hi Chetna,

One or two whistles should not break up the eggplant.

Thanks again ladies.

Traditional Undhiyu has Plantain but I’m glad you didn’t use them. My mom makesgreat undhiyu and she adds sesame seeds and red chili powder to it so her dish ismore red in color than green. I think that’s the Surti way of making it. She cookseverything together in one pot (except muthiyas)without frying potatoes but doesuse a lot more oil than you have used. I prefer less eggplants because I don’t knowanyone personally who fights for baby eggplants in undhiyu.

I have never made undhiyu because it’s too much work and I get it from my momwhen she makes it. But I will try your recipe too.

Hi Hetal and Anuja,

As always excellent efforts, just want to share an easy alternative method and to cutdown some calories, you can make undhiyu with an authentic taste using rice cooker,I live in Toronto so we get surti papdi vey easily available and I try to make it veryoften during the season (I freeze my muthias) just to add little less water comparedto the traditional method ( no need to fry any vegetable) I am very sure if you try thismethods anyone would love to make it more often.

I have tried most of your recipies and no doubt it all comes out great.Thanks again for your efforts.Purvi

Hetal and Anuja,

Thank you very much for the recipe. The video makes it look very easy. I haverequested this recipe many times and will definitely try it soon! I saw someonesuggesting cooking vegetables in a pressure cooker. How about lightly coating themwith oil and baking or sauteing them? I know it won’t be as great as deep frying butassuming it will still be good.

[Reply]







Hi R,

One of the things we were considering was baking the potatoes/sweet potatoes(lightly coated w oil), but we decided to go more traditional with this recipe. Wedid not try it but it seems like it would work and save some calories at the sametime. We used a pressure cooker for the papdi and tuver dana because they aresometimes really hard to cook by sauteing (longer time depending on how maturethe papdi is).

18. Bela Says: January 23rd, 2012 at 1:11 pm

Like the recipe,but i think you made green (lilu)undhiyu and in this whole recipe youuse only one green chill. So my question is if we want to use tomato and red chillpowder at what point we can use and in treditional verson chick pea flour with allspices is used to fill eggplant and baby potato. so if you have that recipe kindly so usthat too pl.

I will definitely try this too..great job…

[Reply]

Pinal Reply:January 23rd, 2012 at 3:20 pm

Hi Bela,





I don’t believe undhiyu has tomatoes in it. If you like to add chili powder, you canadd it in Step 6.

Absolutely. Leave anything out that you don’t like. It should be enjoyable to you.Like some other have said, plantains are often used.

hello hetal and anuja,as of being true surati gujarati,let me correct you at one place ,for main ingredientsundhiyu never can made with tuvar dana,its always been whole surati papadi withsurati papadi dana…sorry but its very true that it can change the whole taste of therecipe..thanks for the all great recipe any ways..

[Reply]

Anonymous Reply:January 26th, 2012 at 3:37 pm

u r true but in thesome part of USA v did not get the traditional surti papdi whichcontain “dana” in it. Hetal already mentioned it.that’s why using tuvar dana to getsome “dana”..





[Reply]

Pinal Reply:January 26th, 2012 at 5:41 pm

Actually the Surti Papdi Dana or lilva (just lilva) are easily available in the frozensection or any Indian grocery store and now a days a lot of American stores carrythem too.

When I make just Papdi nu shak, I add additional lilva to it so it taste really good.

Hi Hetal and Anuja,

Once again, thank you for posting these wonderful videos! They are awesome andclear! Much appreciation from a college student who doesn’t always have time tocook big Desi Dishes, but I have put aside time to make Undhiyu for a get together

I have a few questions regarding the preparation.

I was wondering if the Undhiyu could be made with regular size eggplant since the




http://n/A



baby eggplants are not available in my area.

Also, what exactly is Surti Papdi or Papdi in English? I am not sure if its snow peas ornot. Sorry if the question is stupid

I was looking and I could not find a Puri recipe. Do you have the Puri recipe toaccompany the Undhiyu?

Sorry for the Long Comment and Thank You for Your Time and Effort!

[Reply]

hetal Reply:March 21st, 2012 at 1:08 pm

Hi Mosam,

You can use regular eggplant but you will not be able to stuff it as you would thebaby ones. Just make large cubes and deep fry them when you fry the potatoes. Idon’t know of an English name for papdi but it is definitely not snow peas. You maybe able to find it frozen at an Indian grocery store. Yes, we have a puri recipe.Here it is: http://showmethecurry.com/breads/puri‐poori.html

Hetal, Anuja,

I had a big contribution towards Undhio being most requested recipe on SMTP Afterwatching the video, I have been wanting to try it but either no time or was a littleoverwhelmed as it involves lot of prepation, deep frying and cleaning after thecooking!Anyway, I got vegetables this weekend but could not get to it. Decided to prepare ittoday. Since this is first time I am making it, decided to take many shortcuts.Iskipped muthiyas, cooked potatoes and sweet potatoes along with surti‐papdi inpressure cooker. Rest I did just like you guys mentioned. I know not deep frying andnot having muthiyas is a big compromise but it turned out just AMAZING!!In my native place (Karnataka) we use only the surti seeds and throw away the skin. Ihad no idea it could be used for cooking. Actually this was a big hit today!! Verytasty!

We were just used to frozen Undhio at Indian stores, used to love it and I was waiting

http://showmethecurry.com/breads/puri-poori.html




for this video. The recipe is great! I am sure I will be preparing it more frequently. Ican only imagine how it tastes if I deep fried and followed the recipe exactly! Someday I will – may be on a special occasion.

Thanks for all your effort and time spent on this. We enjoyed the dinner today!
