What does SABJI mean in Scrabble?
noun
Indian English
A dish of cooked vegetables, especially one seasoned with spices, eaten as part of an Indian meal.
The word sabji is the everyday term for a vegetable dish across Hindi- and Urdu-speaking regions, and it has passed into Indian English through restaurant menus, home cooking and recipe writing. The dish can be dry or served in a light sauce, and cooks build sabji from whatever vegetables are in season rather than following one fixed recipe. Sabji usually appears alongside rice or flatbread rather than being eaten alone, and the term covers everything from a simple potato sabji to a mixed vegetable version. Because sabji is a loanword rather than a native English coinage, it keeps its foreign flavour even inside an English sentence.
How SABJI is used
Common in Indian English cooking and on menus; usually named after its main vegetable, as in potato sabji or spinach sabji.
