Dudde (Pumpkin) Idli

dudde or Pumpkin idli
A Konkani vegetable Idli recipe which is a good change from the regular rice idli. My Mother-in-law's recipe again. 
I make it mildly sweet. For Cucumber Idli I used sugar, but for this I tried jaggery and it tasted better. Whenever pumpkin is not available, I use Butternut Squash and squash idlis taste great too.

Ingredients:
Grated Pumpkin/Kadoo - 4 cups
Grated Coconut - 3/4 cup
Idli Rava (Cream of Raw Rice) - 1 cup

Jaggery or Brown sugar - about 3/4 cup
Salt - 1/2 tsp
Coconut Oil or Ghee/Clarified Butter

How to cook Konkani Dudde Idli:
  • Peel the pumpkin skin and grate it.
  • In a mixing bowl, add grated pumpkin, grated coconut (fresh or frozen), idli rava, jaggery, salt. Mix all the ingredients well. Add more or less sugar to suit your taste.
  • Grease the idli plates with little coconut oil or clarified butter or any other oil.
  • Add the above mixture in the idli mold/mould and steam it for about 12 - 15 minutes.
Konkani dudhiye idli
  • Remove the cooker lid and let it cool for 5 -7 minutes. If the lid is not removed after cooking, the idlis will turn too moist. Cooling will help the idlis come off easily without breaking.
Pumpkin idli is ready to serve with Ghee/Clarified butter or coconut chutney.

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....

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.

Surti Val Papdi Bhaji

My Mom used to make Val Papdi Bhaji in a simple way with few ingredients. This is the first time I gave it a try here in my US kitchen. This stir fry does require little more oil, as no water is added for cooking. Dal Rice tastes great with this sauteed Papdi.  I tried this Bhaji once with frozen Surti Papdi and I was not happy with the result. I prefer fresh Papdi for this recipe, which I can only find in the local Indian store. I am not sure if Val Papdi is called as Navy Bean or Fava Bean in English.
