If you see the recipes I have posted earlier you can see it is just simple home cooked food. So, here is another simple dish that really brings out the taste of the vegetable just with a simple tadka and some coconut. Goes well as a side dish for rice or rotis. Also, remember not to over-cook the vegetable. Just sprinkle water every now and then and cook till done. Finally make sure that the vegatable is still crisp and not soggy.
