E-D of Indian Vegetables

“Please understand the reason why Chinese vegetables taste so good. It is simple. The Chinese do not cook them, they just threaten them!” – Jeff Smith
How do Indians treat vegetables? That’s precisely what the A-Z of Indian Vegetables event set out to explore.
We didn’t catch the A-Z bandwagon until it had rolled into Station E. By that time we were already huffing and puffing, drinking through a firehose, battling code demons, silently cursing ourselves for adding another venture into our busy lives. However, participating in the A-Z event was very fulfilling because we learnt a lot about Indian regional cuisines in the process. Thank you Nupur, for the opportunity.
We were attempting 20 out of the 26 entries for the first time.
Staying within the core theme of the event was surely not easy, but we are happy with the end result. Presented below are links to our event entries (E to Z) and four others (A to D) which make up the Jugalbandi “E-D of Indian Vegetables”. The name of the dish will take you to the post. Hope you enjoy this as much as we did.
The mountains are calling. See you next week.
