He captioned the post, “My dadi would often make ker sangri at home, and I decided to serve it a little differently. I can't begin to tell you how well it paired with the kachumber dahi and thepla — you can also try it with a small ajwain parothi.”
Here's how he made Rajasthani Sangri Ke Taco:
First, he took 1 cup dried sangri, and washed and soaked it in water for six hours.
Then, he moved the sangri to a pressure cooker, added turmeric and let it cook for 15 minutes — 1 big or 3 small whistles.
After that, he took a pan, added oil.
Once the oil was hot, he added 1 tablespoon mustard seeds, 1 tablespoon cumin seeds, 2 dried red chillies, ½ pinch hing and 1 teaspoon fennel seeds.
In the next step, he added the cooked sangri to the spices and mixed them well.
After a while, he added 1 teaspoon, red chilli powder, 1 tablespoon coriander powder, ½ teaspoon turmeric powder, salt and 1 teaspoon amchur powder.
He mixed everything well and cooked for 6 minutes, or till it turned crispy.
