• 1 teaspoon Salt (adjust to taste)
• ¾ cup Water (lukewarm, adjust as needed for dough consistency)
• 500 grams Cluster Beans (Gawar ki Phalli) (trim ends, remove tough strings, wash thoroughly)
• 1 medium Onion (finely chopped)
• 1 large Tomato (chopped)
• 1 piece Green Chili (slit lengthwise, optional for heat)
• 1 tablespoon Ginger‑Garlic Paste (store‑bought or homemade)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Roti Dough

   In a mixing bowl combine whole wheat flour, salt and 2 tbsp ghee. Mix until the flour is crumbly, then gradually add lukewarm water and knead into a smooth, non‑sticky dough.

   Time: PT10M

2. Shape the Roti

   Divide the dough into 4 equal balls. Lightly dust each ball with dry flour, flatten with hands, then roll out into a 6‑inch circle about 2 mm thick.

   Time: PT5M

3. Cook the Roti

   Heat a tawa over medium‑high heat. Place the rolled roti on the hot tawa; when bubbles appear, flip. Cook the other side until light brown spots appear, then press gently with a cloth or spatula to puff. Brush both sides with a little ghee.

   Time: PT10M

   Temperature: Medium‑high heat

4. Prep the Cluster Beans

   Trim the ends of the beans, pull off the tough strings, and wash thoroughly. Cut each bean into 2‑inch pieces.

   Time: PT10M

5. Par‑boil the Beans

   In a saucepan, add the bean pieces, enough water to cover, a pinch of salt, and bring to boil. Cook for 8‑10 minutes until just tender, then drain and set aside.

   Time: PT12M

   Temperature: Boiling

6. Temper the Sabzi

   Heat 1 tbsp oil (or ghee) in the same saucepan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds; when they sizzle, add chopped onion and sauté until translucent (≈3 minutes).

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: Medium

7. Add Aromatics and Spices

   Stir in ginger‑garlic paste, green chili, turmeric, red chili powder, coriander powder and sauté for another 2 minutes until the raw smell disappears.

   Time: PT3M

   Temperature: Medium

8. Combine Beans and Tomatoes

   Add chopped tomato and the par‑boiled beans. Mix well, season with salt, and cook covered for 8‑10 minutes on low heat, stirring occasionally, until the beans are fully cooked and the gravy thickens.

   Time: PT10M

   Temperature: Low

9. Serve

   Place the hot ghee‑roti on a plate, spread a thin layer of ghee, and serve alongside the cluster‑bean sabzi. Enjoy immediately.

   Time: PT5M
