Goan Tendli Vegetable Or Tendli Foogath made with no spice, cooked in their own juice and flavored with coconut tastes simply yum with chapatis. My mom makes Goan Tendli Vegatable quite often I love to eat such veggies made from my mom. Goan Tendli Vegetable also called as foogath in goa is easy to make and no complications Or fuss. I love you mom for making us eat this while we were kids π
My hubby also loves foogath same way we prepare french beans and cabbage. However there are variations to foogath too. For instance people add curry leaves, cashewnuts etc to make foogath. I am uploading simple recipes and nutritional recipes as I don’t get time nowadays.
Days are passing so quicker its been four months I am married now looks like yesterday π the feeling of marriage is seeping into me now. As until last month I never felt I am married and a wife. Just felt I am on a short vacation far away from my parents. Hmmmm but facing reality now! To be a woman is so difficult she has to be strong and running around all the times. Whereas the opposite gender is chilled out, lazed out and taken care off by women again π
Guess I need a small vacation for me going to beaches, islands Or mountains. Awaiting to go for a leisure trip subject to my hubbys leaves. Have a strong gut feeling travel is on my cards when and where let time decide. Don’t worry I am not a astrologer just listen to my heart and sixth sense sometimes that’s all.

you have not mentioned sugar in the ingredients….i guess a pinch would be sufficient?
in Kerala cusine there is s similar dish called Thoran…only difference is that we add curry leaves and to taste better shallots are used instead of onions…
