Ker Sangri

Sabzi: An Iconic Vegetarian Speciality

Rajasthani dishes routinely feature flours, grains, pulses and dried vegetables suited to a dry, arid region. Ker sangri, made from dessert produce (ker are desert caper berries and sangri are the dried pods of dessert beans), is one such dish that originated due to the scarcity of fresh vegetables, only to become a speciality now served in authentic restaurants and even Marwari weddings. While each household adapts the dish as per their taste buds, it tends to have a spicy and tangy flavour, an earthy aroma, and is traditionally paired with bajra rotis.
