Rajasthani Sweet & Spicy Ker Sangri Sabzi Recipe
The Ker Sangri Recipe is a traditional Rajasthani dish that is made from with a combination of dried beans and berries that are grown locally in Rajasthan. It is often made into a spicy dry vegetable, but, I have added a little bit of sweetness to the spice and the taste was delectable. If you plan to make it , do first try it without the jaggery and then add jaggery to find the difference. The addition if raisins to the sabzi adds to the richness of Ker Sangri. At home I served it along with a Kadhi, Phulkas and Steamed Rice and not to forget the ghee that I had along with.
