We had a huge crop of pumpkins this summer. Growing our own veggies during different seasons is not only pocket saver, its stress burster too, in my opinion. It needs a bit of regular maintenance, but seeing the garden brimming with flowers, fruits and veggies, it feels worth the effort. 

Pumpkins last upto 6 months if they are harvested after ripening well. We enjoy pumpkin soup every now and then for our dinner during winter nights. Other dish which my family loves is Pumpkin Sambar. This Sambar won't need onion and garlic, its vegan friendly and tastes similar to the Temple style Sambar. 

• Preparation time: 45 minutes
• Soaking time: 20 minutes
• Serves: 6
• Difficulty level: Difficult

Majjige Huli / Paladya is one of the most common side dish in Havyaka households at my native place. 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!

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!

Kaayi Unde or Kaayunde is one of my favourite sweet snacks from childhood. As the name indicates, the main ingredients in this sweet dish are coconut and jaggery. To make it more tastier, nuts like toasted groundnuts or cashews can also be added. 

Here is the recipe of Kaayi Unde for you all!

• Time required: 30 minutes
• Difficulty level: Medium
• Serves: 28 balls 

Ingredients:

• Fresh grated coconut - 3 cups
• Jaggery - 1 cup (either powder or liquid) 
• Roasted groundnuts - 1 cup
• Cardamom powder - 1 tsp

Recipe Instructions:

• Take the toasted groundnuts, peel off the skin and pulse them in the mixie or food processor into small chunks.
• Combine fresh grated coconut and jaggery in a wide pan, keep mixing it on medium flame. 
• Slowly, the water content in the coconut releases and the jaggery combines well with the coconut. If the mixture looks too dry, you can add 1 - 2 tablespoon of water to make it moist. 
• Keep mixing the mixture for around 20 minutes, till you see the mixture starts thickening and starts to leave the sides of the pan. Take a small bit of the mixture and check whether you are able to form a ball. 
• Turn off the flame, add the groundnuts and cardamom powder. Mix everything well.  
• Once the mixture is lukewarm, grease your palm with a few drops of ghee / oil, take small portions of the mixture and shape them into balls. 
• Store these chewy sweet balls in an air tight container and enjoy them anytime!

Tips:

• You can add cashew-nuts instead of groundnuts.
