Process:
Sai Bhaji:
• Prepare the Pressure Cooker: Heat oil in a pressure cooker and add a pinch of cumin seeds. Add chopped ginger, garlic, and green chillies. Sauté for a minute. Add the chopped onions and mix well.
• Add Vegetables: Stir in all the chopped vegetables (except leafy greens). Add soaked chana dal, diced tomatoes, and salt.
• Season: Add turmeric, coriander powder, and red chilli powder. Mix well.
• Pressure Cook: Pour 1 cup of water and add the leafy vegetables. Close the pressure cooker and cook for 3 whistles. Then, simmer for 10-15 minutes.
• Mash and Mix: Open the cooker, and smash the veggies slightly using a masher.
Use a wooden whisk to mix everything.

Koki recipe:
• Make the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine flour, millet flour, chopped onions, fresh coriander, green chillies, anardana, and salt. Gradually add ghee while mixing to form a dough.
• Prepare Koki: Heat a tawa (griddle). Divide the dough into 4-5 balls. Dust the surface with flour and roll each ball into a flat disc using a rolling pin.
• Cook the Koki: Place the rolled koki on the hot tawa. Cook until it starts to brown, then drizzle a little ghee and flip to cook the other side. Repeat for the remaining dough.
• Serve: For the Sai Bhaji, heat a little ghee with some garlic for the tadka and pour it over the bhaji before serving. Serve the Sai Bhaji alongside Koki and some yoghurt sprinkled with cumin powder
