mixed kathol sabzi features a wonderful combo of pulses ( kala chana, moong, chawli, matki, hara vatana) cooked and presented the Gujarati way.
mixed kathol sabzi is part of the ‘jaman’ served during the festive seasons, but it is also made regularly in Gujarati households throughout the year.
To make mixed kathol sabzi we have soaked overnight the kathols and then pressure cooked them. Then I cooked them in oil along with Indian spices, tamarind pulp, jaggery and a besan mixture. Finally everything is simmered for 5 to 7 minutes to make the perfect Gujarati mixed pulses sabji.

As a ''whitey'' New Yorker who''s newer to Indian cooking, I love this dish. It combines multiple textures with simple spices dealt with a deft hand that results in an extremely comforting dish. I will be making this many, many more times.
