Do not we love this special preparation of Assam ? As a child I was not very fond of sojina (drumstick) . But with time passing by I have developed a liking for this particular vegetable. Most of the times I cook this with toor dal with lots of garlic & onion. Today I specifically bought these sojina for this preparation only. A simple recipe as most of our Assamese recipes are , with very minimum spices. A real delicious one. Do try in your kitchen and share your feedback too.
Ingredients:
Drumsticks: 3 tender drumsticks (you can increase the number as per your servings)
Yellow Mustard seeds: 2 tsp soaked in water for about 10-15 minutes
Onion: 1 medium sized
Garlic: 5-6 cloves
Tomato: 1 small sized cut into wedges
Green chilli: 1
Salt to taste
Turmeric powder: 1 tsp
Mustard oil: 1 tbsp.
Water as required
Method:
Scrap the out hard layers of sojina and wash properly. Cut the sojina (drumsticks) into 2 or 2 1/2 inches lengthwise.
Make a paste of mustard seeds, onion, garlic, chilli in a mixer.
Heat oil in a pan. Add the above paste and fry for a minute or two and add the tomato, salt & turmeric powder and mix them well and cook till the tomato gets tender and pulpy. Now add the sojina and mix with all the ingredients and cover with a lid in low to medium flame for 2-3 minutes checking in between. Add sufficient water say about half cup. Cover again with the lid and cook till the sojina cooks and the gravy becomes thick.
Now your sojina aru xoriyohor bhaji - drumstick with mustard is ready. Serve hot with rice.
