PREPARATION
Slice the onions into thin slices
Cut all other vegetables into cubes
Shell the fresh peas
Heat oil in a pressure pan
Once it is sufficiently hot add the cumin seeds.
When they start to sizzle, add the onion and saute for a minute
Now add all other vegetables, mix well and cook for
another minute
Add the turmeric powder and chilli powder
Now add the washed bajra and dal to this and mix well
Add the necessary water and salt and allow it to
boil
Close the lid of the pressure pan and put on the
weight
Cook till 5-6 whistles
Once the pressure has released, open the pan, check
it there is some water left, and if it is there, let it cook in open to 3
minutes.
Serve warm
NOTE: I had used fine broken bajra since it cooks
fast. You can use the whole bajra too
