Sunday Cooking - Bhajii

I'm trying to learn how to cook some local cuisine... thus my househelper teaches me!! Yesterday we cooked together. I wanted to try cooking these bean things but I hadn't bought the right ones. I had meant to buy chicken and cook that, but alas laziness took over my morning. So we cleaned out the fridge! =) She saw onions, tomatoes, and broccoli and told me we could make Bhajii. She was explaining to me that she would also put potatoes and paneer (kinda like cottage cheese, high in protein) in there, and I said, "OH! I have paneer!" so we thew that in too! I had to explain to her that this was a "thrown together" meal... thus explaining was fun! haha.
We also made chapati to eat with this. It was quite tasty! Are you hungry??
I love her smile. She's learned so much English since I've been here, and I only speak English with her. She's so happy, and eager to please! =)
