I couldn’t arrive at a perfect dish for none of our Indian vegetables these days. No one prepares them with the same sincerity as they show to an exotic item! As a matter of fact…I browse for new recipes all the time! And, finally make my mind for the usuals ( subzi or curry)! But, this time I was so determined and wanna give it a shot…even though our Desi Vegetables are way to expensive here & there is a good chance that I might ruin the dish! Thus, Gawar Phalli Masale Bath was born. I couldn’t  call it more than that and it is loosely based on our  Karnataka’s Vaangi Bath and Maharatra’s Masale Bath. So, here you go…without much adieu “Gawar Phalli Masale Bath”.
