Preparation

• Take a pan and heat oil in it. Add both kalonji and saunf in it to splutter.
• Add chopped and slightly cooked carrot, haldi, namak, lal mirch powder and dhaniya powder to it fry for 2 min.
• Add about 1/2 cup of water, cover the pan and let it simmer till carrot is cooked.
• Add amchur, garam masala and cheeni to it and cook till cheeni is nicely dissolved.
• Make sure the launji is not runny, so please do not add any more water than needed.
• It should be just that the sauce has coated the carrot pieces and not more than that.
• Serve it with either roti/paratha or poori. This can be prepared and stored in refrigerator and used by warming, whenever needed. It can easily stay up in fridge for 2-3 weeks.
