Soya Mutter in Coconut Gravy
by Tarla Dalal
There is a marathi word called 'zhanzanit' that describes this dish perfectly… the method of cooking and the thoughtful combination of spices give this particular recipe a fantastic texture and taste. I warn you it is tough to stop eating this subzi once you start. Serve with phulkas or soya puris and you will realize this is what they mean by bliss!
