Pinky kha was my first on my kolofful kitchens Bharat FM radio show. She shared with me , that for every pooja in Bihar Dalna is a vegetable that is always made.
Usually gods are served meals with no onion and garlic and true to that this recipe is also made without onions and garlic.
A super easy recipe and if not for a pooja I guess it would be a easy mix veg recipe for any home.
