MIX VEGETABLE || ANKUTT || DIWANI HANDI
Today I am sharing a very traditional recipe DIWANI HANDI OR Ankutt. My ‘GRANDMA’ used to make Ankut the very next day to Diwali ‘light festival of India’. This traditional dish is accomplished with lots of vegetables infect she uses to put all seasonal vegetables in it. Though, I had skipped a few of them like karela and lauki. However, this dish is awesome must try it and let me know how you like it.
MY FOOD TRAVEL :
I remember, when I visited Jammu for a visit with my husband. We skipped one mess lunch to visit nandus one of the Army’s Favorite restaurants for lunch. In Nandus I had this amazing dish for the first time. The taste was so good that I called the chef and asked him for the recipe. A lot of people say ‘It is really difficult to get an accurate recipe from the chef’s mouth’. When the chef replied saying “it is just a simple mix vegetable dish” I thought the saying was true.
Ahh…I searched and tried almost all the possible recipes before I found this authentic recipe from my mom’s cookbook. To my surprise, when I served this recipe for one of our get-togethers, all my guests loved it! They praised the dish a lot and a few of them even compared it with that Nandus. My recipe has improved with time and is now far better than the previous one. Try this simple recipe and include it in your party menu and I can guarantee compliments.
