Thinking of what to make for dinner tonight or for lunch tomorrow? Whenever I don't have any veggies in my fridge, I always choose this option and cook this tasty and quick curry, Kurdaichi Bhaji. This is my friend's mom's recipe. Whenever I prepare it, it's memories takes me to my college(hostel) days. I remember my bestie use to bring this her mom's special curry when coming back from vacation. I still remember the taste of Kurdaichi Bhaji and our never-ending chatting and gossiping 😜.
So, guys, this is the recipe that you can make in a zippy. You can eat this for lunch, dinner, or even as an evening snack. This Kurdaichi Bhaji is a popular Maharashtrian dish, and this Maharashtrian cuisine is known for its hot, spicy and all those aromatic flavors. When I prepare this Kurdaichi Bhaji, I have to make extra chapatis(whole wheat flatbread). A heavy hand with spices, including turmeric, coriander, red chili powder, and goda masala, plus coriander leaves, this dish intensely flavourful and tempting. Serve it with Whole Wheat Chapati or with millets Bhakri. This flavorsome dish is fairly easy to make, and it's one of my favorites. So let's get started.
