Chakke Paladya | ಚಕ್ಕೆ ಪಳದ್ಯ

Image
ಕನ್ನಡದಲ್ಲಿ ಓದಲು ಇಲ್ಲಿ ಕ್ಲಿಕ್ ಮಾಡಿ. Here is one more authentic Malnad recipe from my native. Chakke Paladya is a kind of curry which is prepared using fully grown raw jack fruit flesh. Since the raw jack fruit is the main ingredient, its prepared mostly during jack fruit season.  We rarely get raw jack-fruit here in Bangalore. Usually, we enjoy this curry if we go to our native during jack-fruit season. This year, we have got a parcel of raw jack fruit flesh from there and I had preserved it in freezer. We are enjoying raw jackfriut dishes almost from 2 months and the stock in the freezer is about to exhaust now :)  I am sharing an easy and tasty curry using raw jack fruit flesh today. Don't forget to try this Chakke Paladya when you get raw jackfruit! Preparation time: 30 minutes Servings: 4 Ingredients: Fully grown raw jack-fruit flesh 10 - 12 whole (or 2 cups of flesh) Green chillies - 2 (adjust according to taste) 1 lemon Cooking oil 3 - 4 ...

Flax Seeds Powder (Podi) | ಫ್ಲಾಕ್ಸ್ ಸೀಡ್ಸ್ ಪುಡಿ

Image
ಕನ್ನಡದಲ್ಲಿ ಓದಲು ಇಲ್ಲಿ ಕ್ಲಿಕ್ ಮಾಡಿ. Sometime back, I was planning to buy Flax seeds just to experiment it in egg-less baking. But I couldn't find it in any shops nearby. So, we bought it from a shop in our native during last visit. For our surprise, it was available in so many shops there! Its popularly known as 'Agase Beeja' in Kannada. Flax seeds are a good source of Omega - 3 Fatty Acids. So, vegetarians can rely on Flax seeds to get Omega - 3 Fatty Acids, which is not available from vegetarian food. Also, I heard that Flax seeds help to control cholesterol levels in our body. Due to its health benefits, we have started using flax seeds as a part of our daily food. Flax seeds, when roasted, will give a nice aroma. I tried adding salt and spice to the roasted flax seeds while preparing the powder. It tasted really good with rice. We also tried adding little curd to flax seeds powder which tasted very good with chapathi.  Here is the recipe of Flax Seeds Powder w...

Spinach Masala Roti | ಪಾಲಕ್ ಸೊಪ್ಪಿನ ಮಸಾಲೆ ರೊಟ್ಟಿ

Image
ಕನ್ನಡದಲ್ಲಿ ಓದಲು ಇಲ್ಲಿ ಕ್ಲಿಕ್ ಮಾಡಿ. These days, we are trying to follow healthy food habits as a part of which hubby wants me to use leafy vegetables in cooking at-least 3 - 4 days a week. Normally, he will bring fresh leafy veggies from a vegetable shop nearby. Other vegetables will not be so good, but varieties of leafy vegetables are available very fresh there. If we go in the evening time, shop keeper will be busy arranging the fresh leafy vegetables on the racks. Hubby prefers using spinach in our food regularly since its very rich in iron.  These days, I really got bored with spinach palya and currys due to regular usage. So, thought of trying some new recipes using spinach. This recipe is from an old Kannada magazine which I noted down long back. Already I have tried this Roti quite a few times at home and it was a success! So, here is the recipe for you :) Other than spinach, fenugreek as well as dill leaves will also go well for this recipe. Preparation ...
