It is a creeper and grows from the root whenever it gets plenty of water as in monsoon season. Even now, in a thick forest near my grand mother's house we can find these creepers grown naturally! Many villagers get the roots from the forest and grow them in their backyards. It was almost 4-5 years I haven't seen this vegetable around our area vegetable market. Last week when I was shopping near Jayanagar area, I saw this in a vegetable shop. I felt very happy looking at it. And now I am sharing with you a tasty recipe using  moodahaagalakayi. Preparation time : 35 minutes Serves 3-4 Ingredients: Moodahagalakayi - 1 1/2 or 2 Shredded fresh coconut - 3/4 cup Curd - 3/4 cup or 1 cup For seasoning: oil- 2tsp, red chilli -1, udad dal - 1tsp, mustard seeds -1tsp,...

I had heard that Avarekalu (Hyacinth Beans) Sambar will be very tasty, but never had a chance to taste it anytime! While checking avarakalu recipes, found this Sambar recipe in an old Kannada magazine. I had frozen avarekalu with me and tried this Sambar the same day! We tried it with both rice and roti, it tasted awesome. The next time I get avarekalu, I am going to prepare this yummy curry again :) Here is the recipe of Avarekalu Sambar for you. It goes well with rice, roti as well as chapathi.

Long back, one of my Andhra friends told me about 'Kaja', a famous sweet from her region. Just checked with my hubby and finalized on this sweet for the occasion! There are 2 - 3 different varieties of Kaja which are famous in Andhra. I went with Kakinada Kaja this time which tastes bit similar to ' Saate ' which we prepare in Karnataka. Kaja can be served as sweet as well as snacks!  Preparation time: 1 - 1 1/2 hour Time required for the dough to set: 1 hour Yield: approx. 45 pieces Ingredients: All purpose flour / Maida - 400 gm (plus little more for dusting) Ghee - 3 to 4 tbsp Pinch of salt Water to prepare the dough - 150 ml approx.

When I see bottle gourd (Lauki, Halugumbala or Sorekayi) in supermarkets here in Bangalore, I always remember my mom growing this veggie in our backyard during my childhood days. Since this veggie can't be stored for long time, its use was limited only for few days. Somehow, I love to use this veggie for cooking and keep buying it frequently! Last week, I had bottle gourd in my fridge and wanted to try some different recipe this time. Just checked with Mom and she told me the recipe of Palya. This yummy stir fry with the hint of spice and sweetness goes well with rice, roti and chapathi. Preparation time: 30 - 35 minutes Servings: 3 - 4 Ingredients: Bottle gourd - half Oil 4 - 5 tsp Urad dal - 1 tsp Mustard seeds - 1 tsp Asafoetida (hing) - a pinch A big pinch of turmeric Curry leaves - 1 strand Sambar powder - 1 1/4 tsp Amchur powder - 1/2 tsp ...

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 ...
