Most people would have heard elders saying at home that most of the nutrition is in the peels of a vegetable. Our elders had a lot of practical and wonderful recipes with peels and seeds which we generally discard. And it is definitely the case, peels and seeds do have a lot of nutrition. With lack of time coupled with a general disinterest in consuming nutritious simple vegetables we do not bother to saving peels and seeds. This heerekayi sippe chutney is made from ridgegourd/heerekayi sippe.
Nowadays we are again able to buy organic vegetables which should help us get back to some good recipes. Heerekayi sippe chutney has a very earthy flavour and is a good side dish for idli or dosa. Ridgegourd/heerekayi peels are high in fibre content and blends well with a few masala and coconut to give you can easy chutney. ... “Heerekayi Sippe Chutney | Ridgegourd Peels Chutney | Chutney Recipes”

Malnad Style Gojjavalakki | Malnad Gojjavalakki | Breakfast Recipes

A simple and flavourful poha/avalakki dish, malnad style gojjavalakki
03/05/2018 10:00:05 PM vindhyadesai

I am always looking for new ways of making poha/avalakki. Most common ones are kayi avalakki, batata poha, kanda poha, matar poha etc. In Karnataka another famous poha/avalakki dish is huLi avalakki/gojjavalakki which I have already posted here. In this variation, I tried a malnad style gojjavalakki version with simple spices from Malnad region of Karnataka. All spices give a fresh flavour and make this dish really tasty.
Malnad style gojjavalakki can be eaten for breakfast or even for a light dinner. Tastes best served with curd/yogurt. The difference between Mysore/Bangalore style gojjavalakki and Malnad style gojjavalakki is the way in which the ‘gojju’ is made.
In Mysore/Bangalore gojjavalakki the ‘gojju masala’ is not cooked but it is allowed to set for a few hours and then mixed with powdered poha/avalakki. Whereas in Malnad style gojjavalakki the gojju is made fresh and is cooked just like in puliyogare. Either way both dishes taste great. ... “Malnad Style Gojjavalakki | Malnad Gojjavalakki | Breakfast Recipes”
