CHIVDICHI DAL

Chivdi is a locally available green vegetable with tiny leaves in Maharashtra .   I feel it grows like the grass as I could not see any information while surfing due to lack of information about its name.   In my lifetime, I have not seen this till few months back when I went to the market.  The vendor told me that we can make dal, stir fry subzi out of it so I tried my hand on it.

Since there was lot dirt and mud in it,  I had to pick the same very carefully and put it in water for around 30 minutes to settle down the mud.   took it out from the water and again put in water for another 10 minutes to clean the same perfectly.

It does not have any specific taste or flavour but I liked it. Hence the recipe is shared with you too.  If any one can provide me the english name and more information, will be grateful.  recipe for the stir fry subzi.

BOTTLEGOURD PEEL CHUTNEY

Bottle gourd has got various health benefits.   Lauki juice is rich in Vitamin C, Vitamin B, sodium, iron and potassium. It has low fat and cholesterol level. As a result, this anti-oxidant drink is quite popular among health conscious individuals.

Helps in reducing weight, treat constipation, urinary  problems, sleeplessness, helps in digestion etc. etc.

While making subzi with lauki,  I prefer not to remove the skin as it has got the health benefits.  two days back when I was cutting the bottle gourd, I kept the peel and decided to make chutney out of it.

BEET ROOT SEVAI

Whether you roast it whole, blend into a classic soup or drink as juice,  - beetroot is low in fat, full of vitamins and minerals and packed with powerful antioxidants.    Beetroot is of exceptional nutritional value; especially the greens, which are rich in calcium, iron,  and vitamins A and C. Beetroots are an excellent source of folic acid and a very good source of fibre,  manganese and potassium. The greens should not be overlooked; they can be cooked up and enjoyed in the same way as spinach.

I used to make raita, poriyal (thoran) beet root sago kheerbeet root paratha, beetroot vada,  beetroot cutlet,  beetroot tomato saar,  raw in salad, beetroot halva,  even the greens poriyal, beetroot tomato soup. I make and love to have it with curd rice or plain rice with ghee.


KARELA RAITA, BITTER GOURD RAITA

Bitter gourd raita is made out of bitter gourd and onion.  It is a simple preparation and tasty rice and I liked it with chapati too.  Bitter gourd has got many health benefits.

When I asked my husband what to make with karela as he loves the stuffed karela, bitter gourd pickle,  pitla, fried , bitter gourd fry, etc. he told me put it in curd and give me.  He loves to have it in that way.   What I have to do is chop them very finely, add salt and then add the curd. keep it for sometime and serve.

When he said that I said will raita out of it.  He was too happy to have it when I made as it was tasting very nice with rice.

CORN MEAL PITLA

Pitla is made by Maharashtrains with chickpea flour and served along with Bhakriand rice too.  It is a staple food of farmers, very easy to make and tasty too.  I tried this with corn meal and served with Ven pongal.

I started liking this dish when my colleagues started sharing it during lunch time.  The pitla becomes thick when it becomes cool hence you must add water accordingly if you want bit watery. Junka is also served with bhakri.  It is a dry version with chick pea flour.

PALAK PULAO

During winter you get almost all the vegetables specially the fresh leafy vegetables.  I always prefer to make the leafy subzi  very simple without much spices and have it with curd rice.  

Spinach / palak is rich in folic acid, iron, zinc and antioxidant.   Spinach is packed with nutrients like antioxidants, Vitamins, omega 3 fatty acids and folic acid which are great for your heart. These nutrients will improve the blood flow in your body and prevent your arteries from getting blocked due to bad cholesterol.

Spinach has a very low glycaemic index, which makes it an excellent option for diabetics since it helps stabilize blood glucose levels. It is good for preventing diabetes too by preventing the dysfunction of beta cells that produce insulin. 

Spinach is rich in fibre which helps cure constipation. It also has other properties which helps cleanse, rebuild and renew your intestinal tract.




KOORKA MEZHUKUPURATTI

Koorka is also known as seemakizhangu, chivakizhangu in malayalam, chinese potato in english, siru kizhangu in tamil and sambrali in kannada.  It is grown in Kerala, Tamilnadu, Karnataka, Sri Lanka, Malyasia, Indonesia and Thailand.

It is a seasonal tuber with hairy, muddy and cleaning is a difficult task.  It has got a unique flavour and taste hence I prefer to cook it with minimum spices so that the taste, aroma is not overpowered by the spices.  In fact I prefer to make the meuzhukupuratti with coconut oil and serve with sambar rice or rasam rice.  You can make various dishes out of it viz. molagootal, kootu, stir fry or can deep fry and add masalas like we prepare the dishes with the normal potatoes. slice it and fry like chips and then add chillipowder and salt in it or with black pepper powder.

You can either pressure cook and peel off the skin or put it in a sack and beat it against a rough surface for 5-6 times, most of the peel comes out then put it in water and start removing the remaining peel with the backside of the knife.  Though it is difficult to clean this vegetable as it is time consuming,  the end product is YUM and it is worth the hard work.  The leaves somewhat looks like mint leaves and got a peculiar smell when we remove the kizhangu from the earth.

The koorka kizhangu is the most important ingredient during sankrant and pongal.  While making Ven pongal my Mom in law used to put 4-5 kizhangu in the rice.

Let us look at the recipe now:
