Angoor – Kheere ki sabzi is a delicious sweet and sour curry that goes well with any kind of bread. This is a very quick recipe, doesn’t require much preparation and needs very less oil. Curry is prepared by blending together three oil seeds – dry coconut, sesame and groundnut, all containing good fats. These oil seeds impart nice nutty flavour to the gravy, making it a delightful and palatable experience to taste buds. I have used garlic but you can avoid them during these navratra days.
