Cauliflower-Ladies finger curry

Odd is it not.
Cauliflower and Ladies-finger? Gobi aur Bhindi?
Aloo Gobi, Gobi Mutter are all classics, but this is my Mother-in-law's creation. So it is a classic in it's own right!
When my father-in-law used to work (48 years in a firm, longest serving employee), he used to come home for lunch. But on certain days (audit, Head office inspection etc) he used to take packed lunch along.
And one day my mother-in-law, Mrs. Rajam Ganapathy was caught off-guard. He needed packed lunch but she had only a small piece of cauliflower, 5 ladies-finger and 1/2 a capsicum. So she let her imagination fly and made some curry! The curry tasted awesome. That same day we went to the market and bought 2 large cauliflowers, 4 capsicums and 1 kilo ladies finger to re-make the curry for family lunch!
That is the story behind the simple, amazing curry!
