Stir fry Arbi

Stir fry Arbi

When I was growing up, I would always ask my grand mom if I could help her in chopping vegetables to which she always replied a stern NO.

And once to forever ward me off so I don't bother her again, she said if you touch this vegetable then your hands will start itching and the itch won't stop . 

I got scared and since then neither ate arbi nor ever cooked until recently When B got this home on his way back from office . 
I was surprised but happy too because I got something new to try on.
