to Nalini's Kitchen for Sangeetha's Show Me Your Hits - Legumes & Lentils event. Usually, we use a sambar powder which is prepared in bulk and stored, but for today's bottlegourd sambar I am using a freshly prepared masala, which makes it more flavorful
For today's idli I have used Kuthiraivali ( Barnyard Millet ) rava and sorakkai/bottlegourd. Now, in India we not only get whole millets and millet flour, we also get them now in rava ( semolina ) form and also as instant idiyappams ( noodles )
Add the cooked peas and pepper powder, mix and cook for another minute. Today's dish is Lauki Matar Malai/ BottleGourd And Peas Milk Curry, it's a slight variation from Methi (Fenugreek Leaves) Matar Malai
Original Recipe here. This is another very versatile vegetable, we can use for making curries, soup, sambar, dals, halwas, idlis, dosas and now these theplas and each of the above mentioned dishes taste very good with this vegetable
Then it can be sliced or cut into cubes and added to recipes. The calabash is mostly round (which I have not seen before) while the bottlegourd is elongated and come in various thickness
Such an easy and Curry in a hurry recipe. Roasted groundnut - Handful. This veg is called Suraka in Tamil or Dudhi,Lauki in Hindi or Sorakaya in Telugu or BottleGourd in English
I have been asked several time to post a recipeforlau-chingri, here it is today for you all. Lau chingri or bottlegourd with shrimps is a traditional Bengali recipe
But try serving this veggie using this recipe, bet you will be asked for a more servings. This is one of those two in one recipes where you can enjoy it as appetizer or as entree/main-course
