CARROT SPRING ONION SUBZI

Carrot, spring onion subzi is very easy to prepare. The fresh spring onions adds the flavour to the subzi.  Quick and easy subzi, even children can make it.  I ran out of subzi in the fridge and had a bunch of fresh spring onions with greens and two carrots.  Since I was alone at home, that was sufficient for me to have it with plain rice, and a gooseberry chutney.

RADISH CHUTNEY

Radish, is  always part of  salad.  It is pungent or sweet in taste with a lot of juice. Radishes can be white, red, purple   and in terms of shape, it can be long  or round. They are eaten raw, cooked or pickled.  It helps in curing various diseases.  They are detoxifiers and rich in vitamin C, folic. 

Normally, I used to make subzi along with the greens but my children never used to touch it as they do not like the smell of it.  The only way I can make them eat this is making paratha as they love paratha and do not bother about that I have put in it.  Recently, I made radish bhajia which was awesome.

Coming back to the chutney, it is very easy to make and tasty too.  Can be served with idli, dosa and rice too. ( I prefer).

Let us look at the recipe now:

PHODNI CHA BHAATH

Phodni cha bhaath is made by Maharashtrians.  It is also called as Porichukotti sadam.  The only diference is that we do not add onion in it.  It is very easy to make and tasty too.  I love to have it with onion-raita.  You can also use left over rice for this.

KELA GOBI KOFTA CURRY

Kela gobi kofta curry is very tasty and easy to make vegetable curry for chapatti, naan, roti etc.  It can be served with rice too.  I made it in line with the Golyachi amti which Maharashtrians used to make.

Coming to the recipe of kela gobi kofta curry, I had two banans and 100 gms patta gobi (cabbage ) with me.  Hence I thought of mixing these two ingredients and make something out of it.  Immediately came to my mind is the golyachi amti so I used the same method for making this curry.

KANDE POHE

Kande pohe is a famous Maharashtrian breakfast recipe.  The piping hot  Kande pohe is made by them in a jiffy and served  topped with chopped raw onions and tomato, nylon sev, chopped coriander leaves, fresh grated coriander  and a dash of lime is lip smacking breakfast.  I had this bit spicy breakfast in one of my friends place which was quite yummy.

The technique in making this dish lies in the soaking of the poha.

COCONUT GUN POWDER

Coconut gun powder has little bit similarity with sambara podi.  In samabara podi, not used urid dal and normally after extracting the coconut milk, the left over is used.  In one of my aunty's house and my husband's relatives house, I tasted the gun powder which was similar and different from the one I used to make.  Though I did not ask them for the recipe, I used my own version and tried and was a hit.

Yesterday, while making Peanut sundal for neivedyam for the complex Devi, I had some coconut in the fridge.  When I opened the box, the smell was bit different and thought must have got spoiled.  I told my husband to check, he said it is absolutely alright.  However, I did not want to take a chance as so many people will partake the prasadam, I thought of using fresh coconut.

Then the question came what to do with the coconut which is lying with me. Thinking process was on and that is how this recipe was formed.

DAHI IDLI CHAAT

Chaat item is loved by everyone. especially the road side one.  Ungly chaat chaat ke sab khatein hai. that tasty it is.  We can also make the same at home tasty like that.

Basically, the idli chaat is a left over recipe.  If u are calorie conscious, can just fry the idli with little oil in a kadai or deep fry the idli.

The dahi idli chaat we had in Alibaugh was very very tasty.  Though I had made it earlier, could not post the same somehow.  Now after tasting the same at Alibaugh, I decided to prepare the same, click it and post it.  This very simple and easy dish, you all will enjoy.
