Chockfull of nutrients, this subzi is an easy preparation of tendli and matki in a traditional
manner, with usual taste-givers like onions, green chillies, tomatoes and spice powders. What
makes this Tendli aur Matki Subzi unique is the combination of tendli and sprouts, which
offers calcium, protein and iron in one tasty package; and the addition of tomatoes towards
the end of the cooking process, which retains its crunch and juiciness to a great extent. Serve
hot with rotis or rice. Or for a change, just serve it as a snack topped with crispy sev!
