This special vegetable starts with grating fresh raw turmeric. Also, arbi, churan and yam are cut into small pieces. First of all, desi ghee is heated in a pan and arbi, churan and yam are fried till they turn golden and then they are taken out and kept aside. This increases both the taste and aroma of vegetables.
Chef Chandanpuri, who makes turmeric curry, told Local 18 that turmeric curry is made in a different way in Jalore. Never add asafoetida or cumin in it. We first fry turmeric in desi ghee, then add garlic and ginger to it. After that boiled turmeric, yam, churan and arbi are added. Finally, add curd and prepare gravy on low flame. Homemade spices like chilli powder, coriander powder and salt are added to this gravy. Finally, curd is added and the gravy is prepared on low flame. And when the ghee starts separating from the vegetable, it is garnished with coriander and dry food and served with hot roti and sogra.
