Tomato che Saar(2)

Fall is the perfect season to slurp this delicious "saar".



Tomato che Saar(2)
Tomato Broth/soup
Ingredients

salt to taste
1 1/2 tbsp jaggery

Pressure Cook

4 medium tomatoes, washed, make X with a knife on each tomato

1 cup water

Grind to a fine paste
1/4 cup fresh coconut
1/2" ginger
1 - 2 green chilies (or to taste)
1/2 tsp cumin seeds

Tempering
2 tsp toop/ghee/clarified butter
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
1/2 tsp mustard seeds
1 sprig curry leaves
a pinch of asafoetida

Garnish

1 tbsp chopped cilantro - optional

Suggested Accompaniment

Plain rice

Method
1. Make a X slit on the tomatoes and pressure cook with water. Let them cool down. Now peel the tomatoes starting from X
2. Grind coconut paste and set aside.
3. Grind peeled tomato pulp and set aside.
4. Heat ghee in a saucepan. Add cumin seeds, asafoetida and curry leaves.
5. As it splutters, switch the gas to low. Add tomato pulp and coconut paste.
6. Add 2 -3 cups water to get the desired consistency.
7. Add salt & jaggery. Switch the gas to high. Bring to a rapid boil.
8. Switch gas to low. Simmer for 5 minutes.
9. Garnish with chopped cilantro - if using.

Note -

1. Scouring X mark on tomatoes while boiling is the tip I saw on the food network. It helps to peel boiled tomatoes faster.

2. You can pass the boiled tomato pulp into strainer to avoid any seeds. I think of it as a good source of fiber. To be honest, I do not peel tomatoes either. But then it's a personal choice. Because peeled & strained saar willl taste better.

3. Instead of adding coconut in grinding, you can also add thin coconut milk when the curry is simmering.

Khotte - my way


My grandmother's house in South Mumbai was admired by all of our Konkani relatives. The reason was a big jackfruit tree within the compound(fence). The tree was so planted that its branches used to peer in grandma's kitchen balcony and window. What else does a Konkani want when jackfruit leaves are just within your arms reach? I mean devouring Khotte by just plucking those fresh jackfruit leaves right outside the kitchen window was a dream come true for the people in Mumbai.

Here in US, I haven't seen jackfruit leaves. I have seen the whole jackfruit in Chinatown, but am not so lucky to see the jackfruit leaves. Banana leaves are easily available in Chinatown. I use them to make panki, pannoli, ghavan etc. When I made pannoli, I thought of adding idli batter just the way I made pannoli. When I did it next time, I wanted to be even more adventurous. I decided to make a coneshaped roll of banana leaves, twisted a little at end so the batter won't drip and used a toothpick to hold the shape. (My grandmother used jackfruit leaves to make a cup and used small sticks called - choi -in Konkani to hold the shape). I poured idli batter and steamed it. Though it didn't have the same flavor of jackfruit leaves, it gave the flavor of banana leaves. It was unique as well. It sure was a delicacy and everyone was excited to open their individualized idli wrapper!


Khotte with Banana Leaves
Idlies steamed with banana leaves
Ingredients
Idli batter
Banana leaves


Method
1. Cut  banana leaves into 4 rectangles each.
2. Roll into a cone shape. Twist at the bottom of each cone.

3. Use toothpick so each cone holds its shape. Keep all the cones ready.

4. Pour water in a steamer. Bring to boil.

5. Pour idli batter in each cone.

6. Place vertically so the batter won't drip. Cover with a lid

7. Steam for 25-30 minutes.

8. Serve hot khotte with chutney of your choice.

Note -

1. For a traditional flavor, serve khotte with a few drops of coconut oil.

2. First I tried steaming for 20 minutes. But it wasn't cooked the whole way. So I steamed it for 10 more minutes.

Bikanda VaLValayn - Jackfruit Seeds Curry

Jackfruit seeds are devoured in Maharashtrian, Gujarati and Konkani cuisines. They are called "Phansachya aaThaLya, Champa ni gotli and bikand" in those languages. I am sure they must be having many different names in different Indian languages.

You may find fresh jackfruit seeds at your Chinatown. Daily Delight brand sells frozen jackfruit seeds.  You may even susbstitute fresh chestnuts. I think they taste pretty close to the jackfruit seeds.

In South Canara cuisine, the basic masala/ground paste have three basic ingredients - coconut, byadgi chilies and tamarind. But as I tried to explain here, the consistency of curry(thick/thin), consistency of ground paste (coarse/fine), heat (mild/spicy/fiery), tempering(onion/garlic/curry leaves etc) change the taste & name. So in spite of using the same masala, the result is totally different.

Now, there are 3 types of curries that use the same masala, same seasoning(garlic) but still have different names (koddel/bendi/vaLvaLayn). But here, the main differentiating factor is the heat level. Bendi is hotter than koddel and vaLvaLays is the hottest. If you are a Konkani, you may have witnessed your grandmother calmly taking out 30-40 red chilies for making some super spicy curries! VaLvaLayn, Fanna Upkari are such fiery hot curries. You can decide your own heat level.

Though this super spicy, fiery hot curry goes by this quaint name vaLvaLayn, it's not same as another south canara curry valval which is very mild. Go figure!;-D

BikanDa VaLvaLayn

Jackfruit seeds curry

Ingredients

2 cups jackfruit seeds or fresh chestnuts

salt to taste

Grind to fine paste

3/4 cup fresh coconut

1/2 tbsp tamarind paste

1 tbsp super hot chili powder or 12-15 byadgi chilies roasted in a few drops of coconut oil

Tempering

1 tbsp coconut oil

4-5 garlic cloves, peeled/smashed

Method

1. If using fresh jackfruit seeds, pressure cook the seeds, peel and halve them. Set aside. If using fresh chestnuts, roast them according to Indira's instructions. Cut into 2-3 pieces. If using frozen jackfruit seeds, place them in water. They are pre-cooked. Set aside.

Frozen Jackfruit seeds

 

2. Grind coconut, tamarind and chilies or chili powder to a smooth paste.

3. Add ground masala paste and seeds to a saucepan. Add water and salt.

4. Bring to boil.

5. In another small saucepan, heat oil - preferably coconut oil - add smashed garlic cloves. Fry till they are reddish in color.

6. Pour the tempered oil and garlic over the curry. Switch off the gas. Cover with a lid immediately.

Note -

1. Traditionally,  consistency of this curry should be on the thick side. Adjust the consistency per your liking.

2. This curry should be very hot. But you can use your own judgment.

3. Any oil of your choice can be used. But traditionally, coconut oil is preferred.

4. Make sure that when smashing the garlic, you are not making a paste. Each garlic should still be able to hold its shape.
5. Frozen Jackfruit seeds are available by Daily Delight brand. They are precooked.

KaLa Masala

This masala is from the Marathwada region of Maharashtra. It is not related to goda masala. However, at myt home, we use the term kala masala and goda masala interchangeably to refer to this goda masala.

This Marathwada Kala masala is a must for their fiery mutton curries. I received this masala from a friend who is not a blogger. Thank you, A!

Basil

I bought this basil plant from our farmers' market. It was fun cooking with fresh basil for pizza, pasta and pesto

Lemongrass Plant

Lemongrass is known as gavati chaha in Marathi and paati cha in Gujarati. It's very easy to grow. You can either buy lemongrass from your farmers' market (very economical!) or you can buy from your supermarket. Place it in a cup filled with water for 3-4 days or till it sprouts roots. Once you see those roots, just plant it in soil. 

 

We us the grass like leaves of the lemongrass (gavat is grass in Marathi & hence the name gavati chaha or paat also means the needle like leaves and hence paati cha in Gujarati)  for making tea. A perfect remedy for cold in this fall weather!

Pedvyache Tirphalache Suke

When I went to Whole foods, I almost flipped. There were fresh sardines. I just couldn't believe my eyes. I hurriedly asked the fishmonger to pack 4 for me. and I waited. Thank God, I reached there before a chinese lady because she took each and every remaining sardine. I was happy with my catch! I decided to make Tirphalache Suke. I kept devouring it all by myself for next few days since hubby doesn't eat anything that's not boneless.
