Ingredients Needed for Annakut

Essential Ingredients for Annakut Prasad
One of the unique aspects of Annakut Prasad is the absence of strict guidelines. You can incorporate at least five to seven varieties of vegetables based on your preferences and what’s available in the market.

Vegetables: Potatoes, cabbage, carrots, peas, eggplant, pumpkin, radish, and beans. Remember, a greater variety of vegetables enhances the flavor.

Additional ingredients: ginger, green chilies, tomatoes, ghee or oil, asafoetida, cumin seeds, turmeric, coriander powder, garam masala, and salt.

Steps to Prepare Annakut

Preparation Method for Annakut
Begin by washing all the vegetables thoroughly and cutting them into thick chunks, avoiding fine chopping.
Next, heat ghee in a large pot or pan. Add asafoetida and cumin seeds, allowing them to crackle.
Then, introduce the tomatoes and green chilies. Once the tomatoes soften a bit, add turmeric and coriander powder, sautéing on low heat for one minute.

Afterward, add all the chopped vegetables to the spice mixture. Season with salt and stir well.
The beauty of Annakut lies in its cooking in the natural moisture of the vegetables. Cover the pot and let it simmer for 15 to 20 minutes.
Finally, once the vegetables are tender, mix in garam masala and a touch of dry mango powder (or lemon juice).
Your delightful, authentic bhandara-style Annakut prasad is now ready to be enjoyed.
