Notes
- While making the Sai Bhaji, if you do not have a particular veggie, it is perfectly all right, we really do not have to fret about it. For me, I always minus the brinjal as I am allergic to it.
- To make a quick version, add everything in the pressure cooker at one go, and add 1/2 cup water. Follow cooking and tempering methods.
