    When it comes to planning dinners for regular weekdays, its almost always some subji with roti, if not the upmas or other one pot meals. Getting Hubby dear eat pastas will be out of question. Or else those Parsley Pesto Fusilli Pasta or Gnocchi in Creamy Tomato Sauce will make such delicious meals.
    Then it comes the regular question on what new subji we can make, other than repeating ourselves. Folks at home have given up and accepted that if a new dish needs to be done, it should be verified first if its already featured or not.
    There are also some comical situations when I would've clicked some dishes, yet to share. And they will remember that I have clicked. I will say I haven't done it. In my understanding it would mean I am yet to share, however they will assume that its posted. So I will then have to explain, if clicked is shared, then its done, else its not done!
    I am sure my BM Buddies would agree to this case happening all the time with them. 
    Coming to the post of the day, we are doing second week of BM#55 and I will be sharing some Healthy Dinner meals. For day 1 it was Khichidi and on the same lines, I have a Masala Bhindi, with Masala Dal and roti.
    The Masala Bhindi was the dish to be tried, since we were skeptical if Hubby dear will eat a dry dish with roti, we decided to make a dal and it naturally has to be spicy. So I decided I might as well make a new version. However many versions of Dal you have, its still not enough!
    It was a hearty meal, while the most common as per my North Indian friends is always a Dal Chawal and Bhindi, I would say this fits the bill quite perfectly too! 
    During our initial marriage days, Hubby dear use to talk so much about Bhindi masala, that I was so obsessed at trying different dishes that went by the name. So you can see couple of different Bhindi Masala going around. So this one joins the list as well!

      I totally agree with you about the sharing the recipe! In my case, I click the food before everyone is back, so they won't know whether the camera has appraised it or not ;-). I too go for a dal as well, when making a dry subzi for rotis :D.

      Such a delicious dinner. I could never make my hubby eat dry sabzis and rotis. There needs to be a gravy, so just stopped making them. I am tempted to make this at least for myself.

      Agree on the definition of sharing of the recipe on the blog.:) My folks at home will never eat bhindi / dal with roti..They are only with rice 🙂
