BM #95 Week 1 Day 3 -
Under the theme of Meal time dishes, here is the last one. This is a simple and delicious version which can be made in a jiffy. Add in the flavors which the family favors and a side dish is ready for the meal.
This creamy sabji with Green beans was an accidental hit at home. My husband, in an attempt to sabotage my dinner prep plans threw in some cream into the sabji while it was cooking. It so happened that we all loved the addition of cream in the sabji and now it has become a defacto standard. He got all the praises for that 'creamy addition', though that was not the reaction he expected :).

Onion sliced 1/2 cup
