Podale Cutlets

Snake Gourd is called Podale in Konkani. Mostly this vegetable is stir-fried like poriyal or used with dal to make kootu varieties. But to my surprise.. one Goan restaurant served them as appetizer in a buffet and that's how I got the idea for this recipe. Well.. those were deep fried with semolina and stuffed with meat. You must have probably had a shot of these if you've already tried any of those Mangalorean style buffets.

Golden Beets Poriyal

How about Camouflaging the beets ??? Here is an interesting one which I found this week "Golden Beets", these are born as beetroots with golden orange skin and light yellow flesh with sweet, delicate and mild flavour of beetroot and some of carrots too. After cooking they look like cabbage stir-fry… but with all the benefits of beetroot.

Vegetarian Chalna

Chalna / Salna is typically a term related to non-veg category, its the watery leftover gravy from any meat curry preparation, mostly mutton or chicken. There isn't a vegetarian version and even if any veggies added to it, its termed as Saagu. Here I've created a vegetarian style salna which tastes pretty decent and could be one good quick gravy for roti / idli / dosai.

Bharwan Bhindi

Bharwan ~~~ Stuffed, Bhindi ~~~ Okra / ladys Finger, is nothing but Stuffed Okra preparation typically a Gujarati dish. Authentic gujarati preparations are made without onion and garlic, mostly plain dry curry, slightly bland. This is one such dish with mild spices powder stuffed in okra and stir fried. But in my recipe here… I've taken this Gujarati dish to one step ahead, making it spicy with our own tamilian touch. Karam.. Manam.. Gunam gonda Stuffed Vendakkai..

Karuveppilai Kuzhambu

Its a good practise to include some kind of herbal greens / spice once in while in our normal diet. In India these are available in abundance and is seen in markets fresh almost throughout the year. But its the opposite state here and much harder for us to locate one such items in the market.  Indian stores sometimes have fresh bunch of curry leaves which is one item loaded with healing properties and can't afford to be missed.
