As a child whenever Amma used to feed me Bhindi it was with the guarantee "If you eat your bhindi you will be excellent in Maths". Do not know if it was all the Bhindis or the genes or a combination of both...by God's Grace and MaPa's teachings...pretty good at it and love Bhindis too!
Bhindi is a must at home and every week atleast 2 days we have this veggie either in a sabzi form or raita or Sambar!
Amma was keen to try this with Alu today and a new combination of spices. Beauty of this experimentation was that Appa loved it and asked for another helping of this yummy sabzi. Very aromatic and easy to make.
