Ingredients
  

  • 250 grams Guava(ripe)
  • 2 tbsp Oil
  • 1/2 tsp Mustard seeds
  • 1/2 tsp Cumin seeds
  • pinch Asafoetida
  • 1/2 tsp Turmeric powder
  • 1 tsp Garlic paste
  • 2 tsp Red chili powder
  • 2 tsp Coriander powder
  • 1/2 tsp Garam masala
  • to taste Salt
  • 2 tbsp Water
  • 1/2 tbsp Jaggery (as per liking)

Instructions
 

  • Wash and cut the guava into bite sized pieces. Ensure that you remove the seeds off but do not remove the skin as you want the fiber goodness.
  • Heat oil on a medium flame, then add the mustard seeds, cumin seeds and aseofotida. Let the seeds crackle.
  • Add turmeric powder, garlic paste and let it cook till the raw flavour of garlic goes away for half a minute or so.
  • Then add guava to it and add spices i.e red chilli powder, coriander powder garam masala and salt.
  • Then add 2 spoonfuls of water and let it cook you do not want to add too much of water as the curry has to be dry and the guavas pieces soaking up the spices.
  • It doesn’t take much time for the guava to get cooked through almost ….. check yours before turning off the flame.
  • Then turn off the flame and add jaggery as per your taste(you can even use sugar if you don’t have jaggery on hand)
  • I love it best with phulkas enjoy your too its ready.
