How many of you agree to the fact that kitchen work never ends? Its a non stop process of one meal after the other. If you are a working female, then the kitchen is at rest for a while but back to action as soon as you step into the house. If you are at home, then there is no scope to remain idle and one or the other thing goes on. I have seen my mom, my MIL and my personal experience together supports this statement. And at the end of a busy working day in kitchen, if someone asks you what did keep you busy all throughout, I hardly have a few extra things to point out other than the regular cooking, cleaning. Do you also feel the same??
Clove beans are cultivated all throughout the year whether sun or rain.The malayalam name "nithyavazhuthananga" means the same,'every day brinjal'. Mom has a climber at home and I was lucky to pluck a few and bring home. I remember having this veggie once or twice as a kid. But right now, its an easy access as its ready hand at home. This stir fry tastes just like payaru mezhukuparetti or beans mezhukuparetti. Enjoy this yummy stir fry with rice and moru curry,simple and comforting !
