SLV Ragigudda
The A/C restaurant serves South Indian and North Indian thali which is pretty decent. The spotless kitchen in the roadside stall dishes out the most awesome dosas and once again, THE BEST rava idlis on the planet!! Not to mention the pooris. Khara bhaat and kesari bhaat are quite popular as well. As a finish or dessert, the colddddd badam milk is fantastic at this time of the year.
A great solution for a quick and ‘healthy’ snack in between meals or you could even make a meal out of it.
Aloo Bhindi aur Gobi ki Subzi
Have you ever thrown some ingredients together & made a good recipe? Somehow, these ’throw it together, no effort meals’ always taste great, don’t they?
I made this curry from the odds & ends in the fridge. I am a huge fan of aloo bhindi & aloo gobi so this couldn’t have been anything less than, super yummy.

I threw in whatever I had. You could even add some chopped onions & tomatoes for a jucier version of the curry.
How about giving your leftover aloo bhindi or aloo gobi a new tiwst?
So tell me what are your ‘throw it together, no effort, favorite meals’ like?
