This veggie was definitely on my to do list though the original one is with Alloo (potato), my family not too fond of it so decided to try my hands with Parwal instead. The success this recipe was acknowledged by my Mom’s Reaction of “Bahut Achi bani Hain “ as she is my Master Chef, a recipe that required minimal or no cooking at all : )
