Undhiyu, Gujarati mixed vegetables which includes Undhiyu, Gujarati mixed vegetables which includes broad beans, potatoes, sweet potatoes, purple yams, small eggplants. It is cooked with carom seeds, green garlic, green chilies, cilantro and spices. Fritters made from fenugreek leaves and chickpea flour are also added. During winter season in Gujarat, it’s cooked on a stovetop as well as in a round clay pot called “matla” buried under ground with wood fire. It’s known as matla undhiyu and the flavor of this is quite different than stovetop cooking. I have made it by baking in a clay pot.
