Valor ( Indian Beans ), Ringna ( eggplant or aubergine ) are staple and winter vegetables, in Gujarati cuisine you can have these both vegetables in a different combination. Valor – Ringna nu Saak is one of the most popular and best combination you can try in your own kitchen. This Valor Ringna nu saak, is in a rustic, authentic with distinctive taste maybe not a favourable for all and surely you will not be able to order in a restaurant as this sabji is only cooked in a Gujarati kitchens. This easy and home cooked Sabji cooks so quickly and minimal spices needed. I specially enjoy eating with Bajra Rotla ( Millet Flour Chapatti ) and Garlic Chutney, but can be accompanied with Roti or paratha too.
If you don’t mind adding one more recipe of Indian Beans from this blog,check out my other winter recipe Papdi Lilva nu Saak which is terrific too ! I want to clarify here that Valor is not Surti Papdi, which used in making Gujarati Undhiyu. There is a bit of a different look wise, taste-wise they are similar but not same. Valor Papadi is around 5-6″ long, round and plump and bungy and has around 5-6 beans in them. Surti papdi is not even 2″ and shape is like crescent and has about 2-3 beans.
