well, to be honest, i am not a huge fan of lobia recipe or lobia masala, but it is my husband’s favourite recipe. as matter of fact, he likes north karnataka style curries or gravies and enjoys with jowar roti or wheat based roti. the only reason i like about this recipe is its simplicity and less hassle to prepare it. while some may argue, rongi recipe is an authentic punjabi cuisine recipe, but i have prepared this recipe in north karnataka style or maharshtrian style. basically, i have used coconut with onions and grounded them to a fine paste. adding coconut, not only adds flavor to the gravy, but also provides a consistency to the curry.
