This is a blend of a vegetable and a fruit,both of

the same colour,rich in VitaminC and other

nutrients. To add to this ,I have added whey

water,which is also very healthy. Now for those

of you who are not aware of what whey water

is .., here’s the definition.

Whey water is the liquid that you get when

milk curdles when you make paneer or cottage

cheese.I store that strained water in the fridge

and use it when I make chappathi or any curry.

Trust me it is delicious when added to curries.

Today I made South Indian vada curry with

whey water,and it was delicious.

Cosmetic benefits are also contained in this

whey water.

Now getting to today’s recipe
