Steps to make Surnachi Bhaji 



  • Suran can be itchy at times. Be careful and touch a minimal number of times to cut the Suran.
  • Note: Use a sharp knife to cut the Suran as it is hard to cut. If the hands start itching, rub some Cocum on to your hands.
  • Make small pieces and wash under running water.
  • Add coconut oil and mustard seeds in kadhai / heating pan, when they start to crackle add dry chilli, hing and curry leaves. Coconut is optional and can be replaced with any cooking oil.
  • Add Suran and mix well, put 1/2 glass of water and cover it, cook it on a slow flame for about 10 min.
  • When Suran is half cooked and becomes a bit softer, add Coconut, Jaggery, Salt and Cocum mix well, cover and cook for another 2-3 min on slow flame.
  • Surnachi  bhaji is ready to serve with rice and curry.
