Green Grapes Gojju

Anu’s announcement of Lunchbots giveaway coincided with me having green grapes in bulk, and MIL asking to make some gojju out of it. And some of them were sour! So I knew my entry would be gojju with the sour grapes.
Gojju - means a dish with vegetables in mainly coconut gravy, prepared in South India, mainly Karnataka. Gojju is made with a variety of veggies, with variations. This can be had with rice or as side dish with dosas, chapathis, rottis, etc.
And now, a fruit - green grapes has replaced the veggies in the gojju, and makes it for a good twist :P
So here’s the gojju with a twist - with green grapes.
