One of the most simple, delicious and a typical Gujarati sabji. My transition from a Maharashtrian family to a Gujarati family was so much easier than I had expected it! Of course, food played a major part in easing my way through! I didn’t know gujju food would be so simple, innovative and delicious, that I was glad I married into a gujju family!
This was one of the first sabjis my mum-in-law had made for us, and ever since, has been one of my all time favorites!
A must try!
