It’s a Sunday, a holiday, and we’re craving something spicy. Chicken or mutton curry is appropriate since the food needs to be prepared leisurely. The majority of Non Vegetarian Malvani houses are like this.
When I was a child, we would pick one of our roosters to eat or my father would go to the market and bring some mutton, up till my grandmother or mother finished making the Bhajlela Vataap.
Thus, Malvani Bhajlela Vataap is the Malvani Base Gravy special on Sundays. However, there are a variety of vegetarian curries as well, such as Malvani Watana (dried peas), Malvani Chavli (black-eyed beans), Malvani Kulith (horse gram), and many more. More delectable, non-vegetarian curries that you can make are Malvani Ek Shipi (clams), Kurlyachi (crab), and Chingul (Pronce) curry.
Here are some suggestions that may be of relevance to you:-
“Vataap” denotes a fine paste or gravy, and “Bhajlela” implies Roasted. This Vataap gets its body, texture, and sweetness from freshly grated coconut and onion. It also gets its spice from Byadgi chili, black pepper, cloves, ginger, and garlic, the flavor from cumin seeds, and a relaxing effect from poppy and coriander seeds.
The mixture was then crushed into a fine paste using a mixer grinder or a stone. Although I used to like having it stone ground, nowadays, with less time, I prefer using a mixer grinder. After roasting the mixture Grated coconut releases oil, so you will find this paste a bit oily.
Dried coconut can also be included in this Vataap, but I’ll talk about it in a later recipe blog post. This is another good version of this Vataap.
