I will be sharing more Navratra recipes on and off for next few days and I hope you will like it.

I shared this recipe on Radio One 94.3 FM with RJ Arvind in his show Arvind's Kitchen.

Ingredients 

2 large guavas ( less ripe) diced

1 tsp ghee 

1 tsp grated ginger 

2 green chilies chopped

1/2 tsp turmeric 

1 tbsp coriander powder

2 tsp kashmiri chili powder 

1 tsp Raw Mango Powder ( amchoor ) 

1/2 cup yogurt 

Chopped coriander leaves (optional ) 

Salt to taste 

Pepper to taste 

1 tsp Sugar 

1 cup water 

Heat Ghee in a pan and temper with ginger and green chilies and saute till golden 

Add the dry ingredients namely chili, coriander, raw mango powder, turmeric, salt, sugar, pepper 

saute for a few seconds 

Add guava dices and water and saute for a few mins and cook covered for 15 mins

The guavas will go soft and the water with thicken ad evaporate. make sure that the skin of the guava isn't green any more 

Add yogurt and turn off the gas for some time ... switch on again after 5 mins and simmer till oil appears on the edges. This will prevent the yogurt from curdling.
