Snakegourd called Pudavalangai in Tamil and Potlakaya in Telugu is a traditional vegetable. I like it very much in any form koottu, curry, kadhi or thayir pachadi (Raita)

#mysterybox1Bataata Nu Shaak is what a potato gravy vegetable is called in Gujarati. This is a very delicious vegetable which we learnt from our Gujarati neighbour many years back.The use of crushed roasted groundnuts gives it a unique flavour and being a no onion no garlic recipe, it can be relished by even those who refrain from having onions and garlic!

#reststyleDaal is often translated as ‘lentils’, but actually refers to a split version of a number of lentils, peas, chickpeas and so on. If pulses are split into half they are called daal.A daal is actually a soup made from any of the available split pulses and mostly tempered with different spices. Daal is a great sauce of protein, fiber and iron for vegetarians. It is a part of the staple diet in almost all Indian households. The cooking techniques may differ from region to region.Daal Tadka is a very famous dish in India, found mostly on the menu of a large number of restaurants. The daal is basically well cooked and tempered with whole spices. It is best enjoyed with jeera rice or pulao or some hot plain steamed rice.

#mysterybox1Sukhi Lasni Chutney is basically a delicious Dry Garlic Chutney. This particular chutney pairs up extremely well with everything, from daal rice, to dosas or even with hot bhakaris or chapatis.You might find numerous dry garlic chutney recipes. This one though is a traditional recipe from my grandmother’s kitchen in Karwar. It is unique and extremely flavourful. Unique in the sense, that it makes use of sugar and tamarind too which is generally unheard of in a dry garlic chutney. The garlic, dry coconut, all make it very healthy too. Again it can be easily stored for many days in an air tight container and relished as desired.
