Aur Jo Ras

Name: Aur Jo Ras
Prep time: 20 min
Cook time: 35 min
Total time: 55 min
Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: Multiple States Indian
Ingredients: 6g coriander; 6g salt; 2g red chilli; 12g Tamarind Paste; 200g White Radish; 6g green chillies; 25g garlic paste; 1g turmeric root; 90g Gram Flour; 200g Potato; 6g Mustard Seeds (Black); 12g Sunflower Oil

Authentic Sindhi-Hindu Aur Jo Ras — a tangy thin curry built on crushed garlic, mustard seeds, and tamarind, with chunks of radish and potato simmering in. Stiff besan dough rolls (oblong gatta-style) are dropped into the simmering curry and cook in their own steam to a soft-firm bite. The minimal-spice profile lets the garlic and mustard do the heavy lifting. Distinct from Sindhi Kadhi (which uses besan as a thickener) — Aur Jo Ras is a thin soup-like curry where the besan is in roll/dumpling form, not dispersed.

Ingredients

Finish

coriander — 6 g (chopped)

Main

salt — 6 g (none)
red chilli — 2 g (powder)
Tamarind Paste — 12 g (paste)
White Radish — 200 g (peeled and sliced)
green chillies — 6 g (slit)
garlic paste — 25 g (crushed)
turmeric root — 1 g (powder)
Gram Flour — 90 g (powder)
Potato — 200 g (peeled and cubed)

Tempering

Mustard Seeds (Black) — 6 g (whole)
Sunflower Oil — 12 g (heated)

Method

Heat oil in a wide pot on medium-low. Add crushed garlic (DO NOT brown — Sindhi style is to keep it pale) and slit green chillies. Sauté 30 seconds.
Add mustard seeds. As soon as they pop (5-10 seconds), add sliced radish and cubed potatoes.
Pour in 2 cups (about 500 ml) water. Add tamarind paste, salt, and turmeric. Bring to a boil, then reduce to medium and simmer until potatoes are half-cooked (8-10 minutes).
Meanwhile, prepare besan rolls: in a bowl combine besan with salt, a pinch of crushed garlic, and 1/2 tsp red chilli powder. Knead with very little water (1-2 tbsp) into a stiff non-sticky dough.
Divide besan dough into 6-7 oblong rolls (each finger-sized). Drop them gently into the simmering curry.
Add another 1-2 cups water if curry is too thick (Aur Jo Ras is supposed to be thin, almost soup-like). Cover and simmer on medium-low 15-30 minutes until both potatoes and besan rolls are fully cooked through.
Adjust salt and tang. Garnish with chopped fresh coriander leaves. Serve hot with steamed rice — it's a soup-curry meant to be poured over rice.
