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.

Here in this recipe, I've opted for shallow frying with my own style of potato stuffing and covering with gram flour, use your immagination.. try new stuffing and give it a shot.

Soak 1 glass of channa dhal & 1 glass of moong Dhal for 3 to 4 hours or overnight. Drain the water and grind into a rough paste along with sufficient salt. Avoid adding water. But, if you cant grind without it, add very little water. The paste should be ROUGH. Grease a dish. Add the thick batter into the dish and steam it in pressure cooker for 15 minutes. (Ensure not to put the whistle - should just steam like how you do for Idlis).

After 15 minutes, take the cooker off the heat, open it and allow the ingredients to cool for 5 minutes. Take a big try, powder the steamed idli well spreading it into the tray. Allow it cool well for another 5 minutes.

Heat oil in a pan. Splutter mustard. Add slit green chillies, curry leaves, one spoon Channa Dhal, one spoon Udad Dhal, one pinch of turmeric powder. Once channa dhal & udad dhal turn golden brown, add the steamed & powdered mixture. While mixing well, add lemon juice, fresh coriander leaves & grated coconut for seasoning. Mix well in medium flame for 3 to 4 minutes. Take off heat. Serve hot.

Stuffed Rice Roti: This is purely a home made dish prepared with rice flour interior and maida outer layer. It is similar to a stuffed paratha, but we use rice flour for stuffing instead of veggies. Maida forms the outer cover. It's a very tasty dish ideal for breakfast or dinner. A dish strongly recommended for diet conscious people as it requires very little oil.
