Really wondering how to start today's post. Seems to be such a block :).Blogging has become such a obsession to me that while I cook a dish,my mind parallelly frames sentences and content for the post and on the contrary I am short of words many a days while I sit with laptop,just because I don't make a note of my thoughts.I often think I should jot down the points along with pictures for reference but I am still to implement it,wish I could blog in a more organized way:) Well ,coming to today's recipe,it is a quick fix for those who want to wrap up with a fast yet tasty dish.Days are getting longer and already hot here and I just want to cook something fast and get out of kitchen.Recipes like this bombay chutney comes to our rescue during these times,a very flavorful,tangy stew(why do we call this chutney that too Bombay chutney!!!) based on gram flour.Very simple recipe,suitable for bachelors/working women who long for home cooked food.Goes very well with puri/chapathis and also with rice and appalam.Try out and let me know.Bombay chutney recipe
