When you are bored of eating same type of Sambar everyday, Majjige Huli makes the lunch or dinner more enjoyable. Different vegetables are used to prepare Majjige Huli. When made using every different vegetable, taste of this side dish varies. Also, we can make both sweet and savoury version of Majjige Huli with every vegetable!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">During our recent visit to Sydney, one of our family friends had kindly shared some home-grown Tondekayi / Dondakaya with us. It was long time since I prepared Majjige Huli using Tindora. We all enjoyed this sweet version of Tindora Majjige Huli, and here is the recipe for you all to try!</p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><ul><li>Preparation time: 25 minutes</li><li>Difficulty level: Medium</li><li>Serves: 6</li></ul><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53447608208_2863c0dfd6_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" height="881" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53447608208_2863c0dfd6_o.jpg" width="587" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Ingredients:</b> </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Tindora / Tondekayi / Ivy gourd / Dondakaya - 15 nos</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Thick buttermilk - 1 1/4 cup </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Salt - to taste</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Jaggery (or sugar) - 4 to 5 tea spoon (as per taste)</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>- For grinding:</b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Coriander seeds - 1 1/4 tsp </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Mustard seeds - 1 tsp</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Till / sesame seeds - 1 tsp</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Green chilli / dry red chilli - small piece (for taste)</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Curry leaves - 2 to 3 leaves</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Grated coconut (Fresh / frozen) - 1 cup</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Water - for grinding the mixture </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>- For Seasoning:</b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Cooking oil - 1 1/2 tsp (see tips)</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Urid dal - 1 tsp</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Mustard seeds - 1 tsp</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Curry leaves - 7 to 8 leaves</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Recipe Instructions:</b></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><ul><li>Wash the Tindora thoroughly, and cut them into medium size pieces. </li><li>Transfer the Tindora pieces into a vessel.

Add cinnamon piece, red chilli pieces and split chana dal, toast them for 1 - 2 minutes. Then add urid dal, methi seeds and clove.

Add urid dal, mustard seeds. Once the mustard seeds start crackling, add a pinch of turmeric powder and chopped radish beans. Give it a good mix and sauté the mixture for 2 minutes. Then, close the lid and allow it to cook on medium flame. </li><li>When the mixture is half - way cooked, add salt to taste, 1 tsp sugar and 3/4 tsp of amchur powder. Combine it well, and close the lid to cook further. Keep mixing it every few minutes. No need to add any extra water, as the water content in the beans would be sufficient to cook them. </li><li>It would take around 12 - 15 minutes to cook the beans mixture.

Its summer here, and we are making a good use of cucumbers. My cooking style goes more towards my native style food when its summer; we enjoy preparing and eating native style curries like Hashi, Tambli, etc which are mainly yogurt based. But when the winter starts, we prefer more of soups, chapathi and curries.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Hashi or Saasive is a yogurt and coconut based curry which is a good combination with rice. We Havyakas can prepare Hashi or Saasive using almost every variety of vegetables and edible leaves. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Today, I am going to share the recipe of Savatekayi Hashi (Sasive) with you all. When we were school age kids, we cousins were all very keen to watch how Amma / Aunty / Grandma chop the cucumber so finely using 'Ilige mane' or coconut scraper. We all loved that aroma which comes when the cucumber is chopped finely. And, we used to wait for that small leftover pieces of cucumber which they give at the end!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Below is the recipe of Soutekayi (Savatekayi) Hashi for you all..</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrV_6mpHTSXkrFg3tqqBrkbvVMNNUCrgjYOGXetrgC7_49xsq2a_8kbvbV1jlMcJLQStcuiUqd91UfURSwm0rUD5rjofrWewxd_mJEP0Uo5quuzOhqu857iV84YGrxPeM-4qLABHMsTzH8dbblIHAvZbcTO2v2XT1wA-8zQSaBhHABckEy40G04uN8/s4898/DSC_5298.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3265" data-original-width="4898" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrV_6mpHTSXkrFg3tqqBrkbvVMNNUCrgjYOGXetrgC7_49xsq2a_8kbvbV1jlMcJLQStcuiUqd91UfURSwm0rUD5rjofrWewxd_mJEP0Uo5quuzOhqu857iV84YGrxPeM-4qLABHMsTzH8dbblIHAvZbcTO2v2XT1wA-8zQSaBhHABckEy40G04uN8/w640-h426/DSC_5298.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><ul><li>Preparation time: 20 minutes</li><li>Serves - 5</li><li>Difficulty level: Medium</li></ul><p></p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Ingredients:</h3><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><ul><li>Finely chopped cucumber - 1 cup (see Tips)</li><li>Fresh grated coconut (or frozen) - 1 to 1 1/4 cup</li><li>Fresh curd - 1 1/2 cup</li><li>Salt to taste</li><li>Sugar - 1/2 tsp</li><li>Water - about 1 cup (approx)</li></ul><p></p><div style="text-align: left;"><b>For Seasoning:</b> Cooking oil - 2 1/2 tsp, Dried red chilli - 2 small pieces, Urid dal - 1 tsp, Till seeds - 1 tsp, Sesame seeds - 1 tsp, Asafoetida (hing) - a pinch, green chilly - 1</div><h3 style="text-align: left;"><br /></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;">Recipe Instructions:</h3><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><ul><li>Grind the grated coconut into a thick, fine paste by adding around half a cup of water.

Look-wise its like cucumber, but tastes like ridge-gourd. Since zucchini won't have any strong taste or smell, it goes well with many other veggies in cooking. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">It was during our initial days in Australia. Dear hubby had brought home a big box full of Zucchini, thinking they were cucumbers! I had no clue how to use zucchini in cooking. I had to look for zucchini recipes over the net, tried using using it in my style of dishes too. Finally, the box got over without wasting too much of them 😅 But now, I love to use zucchini in my day-to-day cooking and kids enjoy eating them. Zucchini is the most common veggie in our grocery list these days. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Today, I am sharing the South Indian style Akki Rotti recipe (Rice flour roti) using zucchini.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Keeper recipes like Chutney, Thokku, Gojju are our family favourites. A few varieties of these preserves will always be there as part of our lunch and dinner. Not only there are tasty, they come very handy when I feel tired and can't make varieties of fresh curries.<br />
Here is a finger licking Thokku recipe which I learnt during my India trip last year. This Thokku goes well with rice, chapathi or dosa.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
During our childhood days, Cake was a luxurious treat for us. Rarely we had a chance to eat the bakery products like cakes, so it felt like cakes were the most delicious food when compared with whatever Mum made at home with all the love! Gone are those days and now, many of us have ovens at home and its easy to prepare cakes or other bakery food whenever we feel like.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I often prepare varieties of eggless cakes at home. When kids are at home, how much ever snacks I prepare, they all vanish so quickly! My daughter loves to eat cake for her evening snacks. <a href="https://www.gorecipeworld.com/2011/11/eggless-birthday-cake.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Eggless Vanilla Cake</span></a> and <a href="https://www.gorecipeworld.com/2015/01/egg-less-chocolate-cake.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Eggless Chocolate Cake</span></a> were here favourites before. And when we found this way of making Eggless Orange Cake, this cake has become her favourite now!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I just tried to follow the technique of Hot Milk Cake while preparing my Eggless Orange Cake and the result was - Wow! My eggless loaf turned out to be the most delicious one with a soft, airy, moist texture. It tastes the same like Iyengar Bakery Plain cakes. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now, its the season of Jackfruits in India. Both raw and ripe jackfruit are great for cooking. Few food items are made using them which can be preserved till the next season. At my mum's place, they prepare raw jackfruit chips, preserve some raw jackfruit flesh in salt water and also, sundry the raw jackfruit pieces. So, its possible to prepare jackfruit dishes whenever they feel like.<br />
My Mum had packed some <a href="https://www.gorecipeworld.com/2020/04/sun-dried-raw-jackfruit-pieces-how-to.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Sun-dried Raw Jackfruit pieces</span></a> for us during our recent India trip.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Tips:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<ul>
<li>Take care while adding salt to this recipe. Since the jackfruit pieces are salted and sun-dried, it already has some salt in it. If the Raita / Bajji tastes too salty, take a palm size of banana leaf and soak it in the salty dish for about 15 - 20 minutes and take it off. Banana leaf will suck the salt content in it.</li>

Here is the recipe of a side dish which my family loves to eat often. I use potato, snow peas, capsicum and green peas for this Subzi. But it should be ok if you skip capsicum and / or green peas.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Appehuli is a special variety of curry or rasam which is prepared mainly in Western Ghats of Karnataka. This curry is mainly prepared in Havyaka Brahmin households and hence, the name 'Havyaka' is very much associated with 'Appehuli'. Appehuli is served as a side dish with rice. Some people love to drink it as Soup too.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Nicely aromatic raw mangoes are perfect for preparing Appehuli. Apart from raw mango, sour fruits and veggies like Kanchikayi (Kaffir lime), lime, lemon, Star fruit, raw / ripe tamarind, etc. are all good to prepare Appehuli. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today, I am sharing the procedure of preparing Tamarind Appehuli. Ripe tamarind which is a bit sweet and sour in taste is good for preparing this Appehuli. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<b>Method:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<ul>
<li>Take the tamarind in a small bowl. Add enough water to cover it and soak for 10 minutes. Soaking in warm water will quicken the process. </li>
<li>Squeeze the tamarind and collect the pulp. Add little more water and prepare 1 cup of tamarind water. Adjust the sourness according to your taste. </li>
<li>Add salt and sugar according to taste. This Appehuli tastes good with sweet - sour taste.</li>
<li>Heat oil in a small wok. Add dry red chilli, sesame seeds and a pinch of hing. </li>
<li>Once the sesame seeds start crackling, add a pinch of turmeric powder, green chilli pieces and curry leaves. Sauté it for a while and add crushed garlic. </li>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Eggplant is one of those vegetables which is available throughout the year. Although its not so good in nutritional values, it adds more taste to various dishes and curries. There are different varieties of brinjal available in the market. Varieties of curries and other dishes can be prepared depending on each variety of eggplant. For instance, I prepare Baingan Barta (Badanekayi Hindi / Gojju) when we get the bigger eggplants.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My sister is a huge fan of Badanekayi Hindi / Baingan Barta. If there is Baingan Barta for lunch / dinner, her dinner / lunch will start with this curry and also ends with this curry! As she likes Badanekayi Hindi, she may have tasted it 'n' times. Today, I am sharing with you all the recipe of Baingan Barta which I learnt from my sister.</div>

<li>Onion (small) - 1</li>
<li>Grated coconut (optional) - 2 to 3 tbsp</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b> - For seasoning:</b><br />
<ul>

</ul>
<br />
<b>Method:</b><br />
<ul>
<li>Cook the brinjal on direct flame on low heat. This process takes around 15 minutes.</li>
<li>Once the fire roasted brinjal is cool enough to handle, take off the dark, outer skin carefully. Keep a bowl of water handy and dip your hands frequently, it helps to avoid the brinjal skin mixing with its flesh.</li>
<li>Mash the flesh of brinjal using a ladle using cut and mix method. </li>
<li>Heat the oil in a wok for seasoning. Add red chilli pieces, urid dal, hing and mustard seeds. </li>
<li>Once mustard seeds start crackling, add a pinch of turmeric powder followed by green chilli pieces and curry leaves. </li>
<li>Turn off the flame after a minute of cooking. Add this seasoning to mashed brinjal. </li>
<li>Crush the red chillies and green chillies to enhance the taste. </li>
<li>Add salt, amchur powder and a pinch of sugar / jaggery for taste. </li>
<li>Just before serving, chop the onion finely and add it to the brinjal mixture. </li>

<li>If you have prepared this Gojju for more than one time serving, keep the excess part aside and add chopped onion only to that portion which is ready to serve.</li>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
During our last India trip, my sister had packed some home made Sandige Menasu (Buttermilk chillies) for us. These chillies, once fried in oil, turn out so delicious! My kids wanted to give them a try and both started liking them. We get a spicific variety of green chillies called Gokarna Menasu in our native place. The name is because of the place where they will be grown. These chillies are very mild in taste and are perfect for making Curd chillies. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Few days back, we had got a big bunch of fresh green chillies from the farmers market. I checked with my sister for the recipe and tried my hands on making Curd chillies. They were a bit spicy than what my sister gave to us, but there was no compromise in taste.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here comes the recipe of Sandige Menasu or Curd Chillies which I learnt from my sister:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Ingredients:</b></div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;">Green chillies - 1/2 kg (mild ones are better)</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Salt - to taste</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Thick curd or thick buttermilk - 2 cups (approx)</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Urid dal - 2 tsp</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Methi seeds - 4 or 5 seeds</li>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
We had a nice veggie garden during summer this year. Our little backyard was filled with many veggie crops for last couple of months. Radish or Moolangi was one of them, which we had a good crop.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
'Katne' - is a unique curry from my native in Southern India. Its prepared using some wild leaves called 'Kannekudi' leaves which are available there. This curry is preferred during rainy season when people can't get much vegetables. Also, it helps to keep the body warmer during times of cold and fever. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We can't get Kannekudi leaves here in Australia, but I prepare this curry by substituting Spinach leaves. Below is the recipe of Spinach leaves Katne.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Doddapatre is a common herb which is generously used in many Indian households for cooking and home medications. This plant won't need much care and can be easily grown in a pot. We use this herb mainly to get rid of cold and cough. Having access to herbs like Ajawain, tulsi, ginger, etc. will definitely cut down frequent visits to the doctor for some common sickness. Apart from its medicinal values, Ajwain leaves are equally good for preparation of a few yummy dishes. Here is one such side dish, Doddapatre / Ajwain leaves Gojju..</div>

As you all know, Corona virus is spreading quickly everywhere and its at all recommended to go out in most of the places. Curfew, home isolation these are the situation everywhere. This virus is spreading in our area also. Kids are homeschooling, husband is working from these days due to safety reasons. We are completely restricting ourselves from going out except fortnight grocery shopping. Hope some solution will be found out soon and I wish for everyone's safety and good health.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Coming back to the recipe part, here is and easy Chutney recipe which I learnt from my sister. This goes well with rice and Idlis. This Chutney can be made with commonly available ingredients from the kitchen pantry and hence, I thought this might be of help especially when you can't go out for much grocery shopping. Below is the recipe of Kadlebele Chutney or Kadle Kaalina Gojju..</div>
