Bhendi bhaji Maharashtrian style
I am exploring the Maharashtrian cuisine and I am in love with its flavour. Especially that of Goda masala. In one of the Marashtrian challenges, Archana had blogged about Chinch gula chi bhendi bhaji and I had bookmarked it. Bhendi bhaji Maharashtrian style is similar to the one we make in Tamilnadu where we cook the ladyfinger in tamarind juice and then finally fresh coconut is added to it. The only difference other than the masala is the sweet sour taste which is absent in our curry. So I must say that this is an acquired taste. So I was sure this curry will be liked by both of us and I am happy that I tried it. Serve it with rice or roti.
