The source for this recipe is amazing! During one of my ski classes long back, there was this Indian woman along with me. She kept staring at me for a while before taking a slide ( yah! slide - we were skiing remember!) towards me and happily started chatting away in some language which I thought was Marwari. It took me 2 min to break her stream of "@$!@%@~@%@" to let her know "Wait wait...Me know No Marwari!" She gave me 'I-dont-believe-you" look and was like you must be kidding me! (You should have seen my face then!) I told her- seriously! why should I say otherwise and she was like ' you look so much like a marwari!!!!!! ' I have been sure thought by many as a North Indian ( Only God knows why!) but never this particular. When I finally convinced her that I was from South, she immedietly got excited and asked me Rava Dosa Recipe! She said she loved them and in return she promised me a recipe from Jaipur.

And hence in the middle of all that snow with hands and legs tied to skiis, did I make a mental note of " Jaipuri Okra " or "Bhindi Jaipuri". ( Thats one story ain't it! ) I have only approximate measures ( which is to say - My memory melted along with the snow ) but any variations to the ingredient measurement does not hurt the recipe at all.

Anyways! The source for this recipe is amazing! During one of my ski classes long back, there was this Indian woman along with me.

And also since all of you have finished guessing the riddles of the first Easy Edition of the Open Sesame Contest and are thinking of wonderful recipes to make with the one you got, I thought I will add in the riddle and contribute one simple recipe with each of the ingredients from the 4 Riddle Boxes.

Riddle 1 :

I have a crown yet I am not the king
You cut my crown and feet off with a fling

I carry lots of eggs, yet I am nothing but a veggie
Even with all that I am thin and long not pudgy

I am green and I am gooey
If u dont pay attention, I will make ur dish go mushy and chewy

I do good to your health and to your brain
Which is what your elders told you without refrain

Now its upto you to think and take a guess
To who I am ...Cos I am good too and no less


.... which smarty pants ( Participating Bloggers who else!) guessed like it was some silly twig I mean okra ( but hey! be warned I am going to make some super duper hard riddles next time, so much so that I wont be able to guess myself all the BS I come up with ;-) ok! Dont get scared..come for the next one too Ok ;-) )
