Great combination of flavors... pleasantly fragrant and the wonderful aachari flavor from the mixed seeds and the mild tang from the curds, is very palatable... enjoy them with hot parathas or even a nice bowl of steamed rice.. very heart warming..
This is a lovely panner subzi which is mild spiced and gravy is curd based. Our girls loved it.
