Corn in Tomato Gravy - Makai ki Subzi

Its Snowing again. Just had another Snow Storm yesterday, but it was'nt as bad as the last two ones we had this month. It makes me happy to know that Spring is just round the corner. Since kids are home- enjoying their No School days and we parents have been busy keeping them busy. This was my son's request for lunch today. I have'nt made these Parathas for a while and both my kids love corn which explains this combination. This was what we are having for lunch, Would you care to join us ....
