As a child, this was (and still is) undoubtedly one of my favorite dishes!
I have it with ‘khichri’ (rice-lentil dish), Pav (bread) as well as with roti (Indian flat bread) and it tastes absolutely delicious. This is an absolute hit amongst my family and friends alike! Surprisingly easy to make, it is very tasty with a hint of spice in a tangy onion-tomato gravy.
This dish is best enjoyed with Parsi style ‘Khichri ‘ (rice-n-lentil dish) and fried/roasted poppadum’s!
