What is Undhiyu
Traditionally made in a clay pot, Undhiyu is a special Gujarati dish made with a medley of tubers and veggies like purple yam, sweet and regular potatoes, green beans, eggplants, etc. The clay pot is filled with veggies and spices. Then, the pot is buried in a large underground furnace covered by a pile of dried leaves which are set alight. Enter your email & I’ll send it to your inbox.

Ingredients
In addition to the mixed vegetables, Undhiyu uses aromatic spices like turmeric, carom seeds, ginger, green chili, ground cumin, and coriander that add depth and flavor. I also love ground peanuts and grated coconut that add nutty flavors to this dish. Although the hardy veggies can be marinated in the spices beforehand, I almost never do it with the Instant Pot. Simply layering them along with the veggies and cooking on low pressure makes this hearty pot of mixed vegetable casserole. After, the veggies are cooked, stir in the pre-cooked steamed dumplings, Muthia. If, this dish has started to sound a bit complex. Another tip is to either cook and freeze the Muthia (my preferred method, because nothing beats home-cooked flavors) or buy the store-bought frozen Muthia, they are super delicious and come in handy. I promise you will fall in love with the earthy flavors and aromas of this hallmark vegan Gujarati dish! Often, I compare this dish to the Maharashtrian mixed vegetable dish, Bhogichi Bhaji. Similar to Undhiyu, is made during the winter months to celebrate the season’s harvest bounty. In addition, both dishes are easy to make in the Instant Pot and very versatile.
