1. 1Step 1: Soak the gundruk in water for a few minutes, wash and squeeze out excess water.
2. 2Step 2: Meanwhile, heat a deep cooking pan/pot and add mustard oil — once the oil reaches smoking hot temperature sauté garlic, onion, ginger, chilly and tomatoes.
3. 3Step 3: Add the soaked gundruk and sauté it.
4. 4Step 4: Next add turmeric powder, red chili powder and salt. My grandmother would add a chopped boiled potato to this, and smash it with the ladle along with the fried vegetables. This step can be skipped if you want a clear broth.
5. 5Step 5: Once it is well sautéd and the smell of the turmeric is gone from the mix, add water accordingly, one cup per person works well. Let the jhol come to a rolling boil.
6. 6Step 6: Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and serve.
