Tomato che saar khup khup chaan aahe.....

Good one.... nice color
Hi Meera,
I am just two weeks old in the blogging world, so while thinking about what to post next I came across your blog. The posts for the Marathi recipes literally bought tears to my eyes and water to my mouth :) didn't ever think that was possible! But such are my fond memories of doodhi bhaaji and batatyachi bhaaji as well. It's truly ironical how the most boring childhood vegetables suddenly become favorites when you are far away and don't have the fortune of seeing them regularly on the supermarket aisle.
I am so nostalgic about home right now, that I think there will be doodhi for dinner for sure. :D The Saar looks fantastic too. Next on the menu this week!
Saar look mouthwatering Meera, very nice recipe and colour too!!
mmm. that sure is red hot. looks so delicious and colorful meera!
Thanks Meera, for the yummy hot saar! I liked the idea of adding coconut - it should give the saar body! Thanks for participating:)
