Shorva

Shorva,a spicy soup/gravy like consistency dish which is served with flavored rice in many of the hotels.When I wanted to make Kuskha my hubby told me about Shorva...I have not heard about this dish before.He told that he used to have it in his home-town,so I started my search in google and then found the recipe from my fellow blogger Usha in her blog and followed her recipe...that turned of very well and that was a good combo with Kuskha and raitha.Click here for the recipe.Shorva was very tasty and remined me of a hotel in our home-town..I never knew that making shorva is very easy and with simple ingridents.I followed the recipe but only variation is I made it a plain Shorva..didnt add eggs/aloo to the dish.
