About This Recipe
I like to explore North Indian subjis especially when I prepare rotis. Today it was Aloo Bhindi. This is one of those simple recipes you can make over and over again and that is sure to bring a smile to anyone’s face. I wasn’t going to add tomatoes but was convinced by my North Indian friend to give them a supporting role along side bhindi and aloo. I am glad I took her advise.
Delightful recipe that has the spices melding wonderfully with the sauteed vegetables to bring out fabulous flavors. And do not make this recipe without ginger and asafoetida, as they really pull the dish together. We enjoyed our soul-filling nutritious meal today.
