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.
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.

Edible flowers anyone?? Quite surprised to see that these were offered for a dollar a pint at my farmers market and coundn't resist buying. Once these were tossed and other well known flowers like cauliflower, broccoli and artichokes were given importance. But things to do change, nowadays these zucchini flowers are gaining more popularity… and considered gourmet due to its medicinal properties. What do you think they have the most??? Rich folic acid, so give it try if you happen to see…

The shallot is a relative of the onion, and tastes a bit like an onion but has a sweeter, milder flavor. They are more expensive than onions and can be stored for at least 6 months..It is widely used in the southern part of India.

In Tamil it is called Sambar Vengayam and Kochulli in Malayalam and is used in Sambar and different types of kuzhambu..i tried it as thuvaiyal n this goes very well as side for sambar saadham, rasam as well as side for idli n dosai…
