Tingalvaro Anne Magge Kodel / Navy Beans and Yellow Cucumber Curry

-
Well, this is a traditional Konkani curry which we call it as kodel. This curry can be prepared with any kind of pulses especially Horse gram  kidney bean, Navy Bean and Black eyed peas. Along with pulses one can add either potato, yellow / Mangalore cucumber,yam or bamboo to enhance the taste. When i was in India i was not liking yellow cucumber very much. But after moving to Singapore i have started to like it as we rarely get it here. I guess, we get to know the importance of some thing when we don't have it with us anymore.

NOTE : Number of chilies depend on how spicy they are. I am using 12 as mine are not very spicy

 Time Taken : 35 Minutes

 Yield : 4-5 servings

Phenori / Sweet Satta

Image
Phenori also called as Sweet Satta is a sweet dish prepared during special occasions specially during Diwali. My mom always used to  prepare it during Diwali and we kids used to finish all within a week. Personally, I am not a sweet lover but I can't stop eating Phenori. They are so yum, crispy and tasty. The procedure to prepare it looks difficult but is really not so. Try preparing little at first so that you get an idea how it tastes or how much difficult it is. NOTE :  Sugar Syrup can be used instead of Sugar powder. Phenori should be fried properly else they will become soft. You can sprinkle chiroti rawa  or rice flour to make them crispy. Roll from center to the side. All the layers should be clearly visible. And avoid the centre from getting thin. The number of layers can be 3,5 or 7. The oil/ghee to fry should be medium hot and not too hot. Preparation Time : 30 Minutes Cooking Time : 5 Minutes Total Taken : 35 Minutes Ingredients: Ma

NOTE :  Can add 1/2 Cup Fine Semolina / Chiroti Rava / Suji if needed. Can add 2 tbsp Jeera if needed. A pinch of hing is optional.
