The highlight of this recipe, as the name suggests, is the abundant use of tomatoes. Moreover, a varied bunch of veggies are used – ranging from ladies finger and drumsticks to french beans and potatoes. You can try other combinations depending on what vegetables you have in stock. The gram flour plays an interesting role in perfecting the consistency and balancing the sourness.

Bhindi, French beams and drumsticks cooked in a mildly spiced tomato gravy. My daughter loved the vegetable and the tomato based sauce.
