A dish common in the states of Maharashtra and Gujarat, is commonly eaten during fasting days in India. My mother learnt it from her Maharashtrian friend. Each time she made it I loved the taste and would beckon her to make it more often. I would enjoy this dish in my Bombay hostel days, when we would be served with this, most Thursdays. I am sending across to you all, this recipe, written by my mom, more as her sweet love for me..
