Jhavanrua
Category:
Known as Jhangarua in my family. A favourite breakfast subzi with paratha or puri, especially during winter when all the new vegetables are available in Patna. The main vegetables in this subzi are aloo (potatoes), baigan (eggplant), and tomatoes. You can add any other vegetables you like in small quantity.
