Chivai chi bhaji

Mom gyaan
This is also a cooling plant which is why it is widely found during summer and rarely in winter.

Tadka of garlic then onion with halfi, salt and mirchi. Add sabji. Let cook a little, then sprinkle a little besan and cook till done.

Serve with rotis and plain maharashtrian kadhi.
