Pomfret Fry / Fish Fry

-
This recipe is a Konkani style fish fry. My mother shared it with me. You can make the fish fry masala either by simply making use of grounded spices or by grinding the ingredients. The second method is more tastier than the first but takes lot of time.  I will post both the recipes. Choose the one which you like. I would personally prefer first method for the bachelor's.

NOTE : 
  • Number of chilies depend on how spicy they are. I am using 12 as mine are not very spicy.
  • This masala can be used to fry any kind of fishes or even vegetables like potato, pointed gourd, bitter gourd etc.
  • You can either choose to deep fry or to tava fry the fish.

Bitter Gourd Pickle / Karathe Kudko

-
Image
My husband and I like the bitter gourd Fries.  Bitter gourd was one such vegetable that I hated as a kid and slowly started to like the fried bitter gourds after marriage.  We love to have it on rainy seasons and that was the reason for me to get the bitter gourd from the market. But unfortunately we both fell sick and I wanted to avoid the fried items but I had bitter gourds in my fridge and I had to use it. I tried to find out bitter gourd dishes but I was interested in none of them. Finally, decideD to make bitter gourd pickle that goes well with rice soup/paej.  Bitter Gourd Pickle/Karathe Kudko has a spicy coating and that tempted me the most as I love spicy food. This dish turned out to be so tasty and  mind blowing that now I prefer this instead of bitter gourd fries. You too try this and experience the spicy and sour taste of it. You have to taste it atleast once and the other advantage of this dish is it can be stored for weeks in an airtight container. ...

Kulta Kadhi / Kulta Saar-Upkari / Horsegram Soup

-
Image
This is a very famous Konkani dish high in proteins and thus very healthy. Very simple, tasty and easy recipe.  Kulithu means horse gram in Konkani and thus the name Kultha Kadhi/Soup. Goes well with plain rice. In Villages, the cattle's are fed with cooked horse gram and the water used to cook is used by the people as a soup. They also make a thick syrup of this by boiling for hours and store it. And later use it whenever needed. Some people call it as kultha saar-upkari which means gravy and a dry item of horse gram. They boil the horse gram in a water and then they separate the water and horsegram. The water separated will be seasoned with garlic and chilies and will be called saaru and the separated horse gram will be seasoned with garlic and chilly and this is called upkari. I prefer not to separate and have it together.  NOTE :   Can use yellow or old cucumber along with this. Can separate water and horse gram if need...

Phenori / Sweet Satta

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 Ingredien...

Sambar / Kolmbo

This is my favorite dish. Sambar is called as Kolmbo in Konkani. I prepare this dish atleast once in a week. Very simple, tasty and easy recipe. It goes well with plain rice, idli, dosa and ragi balls. I use sambar powder prepared by my  mother-in-law . Before I used to make it from MTR or Ganesh sambar powder. I will post someday the recipe for my mother-in-law's sambar powder. Who ever has tasted my mother-in-law's kolmbo has become a fan of it and I too belong to that group. So my mother-in-law gets me a bottle of sambar powder every time. NOTE : We are adding turmeric powder and oil while boiling toor dal as it helps to boil fast. I am not cooking toor dal and vegetables together because toor dal will take more time to cook by then all the vegetables will get over-cooked. Better to dissolve sambar / kolmbo powder in water or tamarind water. Time Taken : 20-25 Minutes Yield : 3-4 servings Sambar / Kolmbo Ingredients: Seasoning : Red Chillies ...
