Madgane (Konkani Dessert)

Konkani Madgane
HAPPY GUDI PADWA!  HAPPY UGADI!  May this New Year fulfill all your wishes.  Here is a traditional Konkani Kheer Madgane.  Generally this is made soaking rice.  I used rice flour instead.  Traditionally, coconut milk is used for this payasam.  But dairy milk makes it equally yummy.

Ingredients:
Chana Dal/Split Bengal Gram - 1 1/2 tbsp
Coconut Slices - about 1 tbsp
Rice Flour - 1 tbsp heaped
Milk - 3 cups 
Cashews/Kaju - 5
Green Cardamom/Elaichi - 2 pods (seeds only)
Jaggery or Brown Sugar - 3 tbsp

Method:
1. In a thick bottomed vessel add 1 cup water, chana dal and coconut slices.   Cook till chana dal turns soft.  Add more water if required.
2. Meanwhile, mix rice flour with 1/2 cup milk in a bowl.  Mix well to avoid lumps.
3. After chana dal gets cooked, add milk.  To this add the rice flour mixed with milk.  Keep stirring.
4. Add jaggery, ground cardamom, cashew pieces and bring it to a boil.  Add more milk if required.  Creamy Madgane is ready to indulge.

Naval Kol Bhaji / Kohlrabi Stir-fry

Green Kohlrabi called as Navalkol in Marathi and Navilkosu in Kannada, belongs to the cabbage family.  My Mom used to make this stir fry very often.  Just like cabbage, this vegetable in available in two colors - green and purple.  I was quite hesitant about the purple one, as I haven't seen that back in India.  Anyway, I picked the green bulbs and Navalkohl Bhaji with Chana Dal was part of our healthy vegetarian meal today.

Indian Dal / Lentils

Lentils, known as Dal are a staple in an Indian diet, especially vegetarian. For me, dal is comfort food. 5 different dal varieties - Toor, Moong, Chana, Masoor and Urad are commonly used in Indian sweet and savory delicacies. You can cook dal with just one kind or a mix of two or more. I generally cook dal with 1:1 Toor and Moong dals. But then, we like Panchmel or Panchratna Dal too, which is made of all five. Most dal recipes have Toor dal as the primary ingredient. It is also known as Toovar or Arhar dal or Split Pigeon Peas . Some of our family favorite dal recipes are Dalitoy (Konkani Dal)  Tadka Dal Among all lentils, moong dal and masoor dal take lesser time to cook. Moong dal is also known as Split Green Gram or Split Mung Bean . Moong dal is also used in making sweet dishes like Mung Dal Kheer  Mung Dal Puranpoli Chana dal is also known as Split Bengal Gram or Split Chickpeas . Chana Dal takes a little more time to cook as compared to toor dal....
