Jhatpat Bhendi Masala#Alphabet Challenge

I, was multi tasking today. The bread was baking in the oven, on the other side I was making phulkas for lunch and it was already past 12.30 in the noon and the sabji was not ready. I actually wanted to make Rajasthani Bhendi Masala but I knew that would take helluva of long time. So I made this Jhatpat Bhendi Masala. No stirring, no need to keep a watchful eye. Still this sabji became very tasty, my daughter's prompt comment on eating this sabji. Mummy this bhendi curry is tasting very nice which recipe this is. I smiled, very happy in mind and replied really, good .. enjoy it! So here is the recipe.

  4. Bhendi is one of those foods I have never tried. It's quite popular in U.S. Southern food.
