Monsoon Special - Phodshi chi Bhaji

Phodshi and Phodshi chi Bhaji
In the first few showers of rain several plants and other vegetation spring up with their tender and bright green leaves in a complete splendor, as though showing their gratitude towards the relief from the summer heat. Spinach, small tender fenugreek, drumstick leaves, dill, Malabar spinach (mayalu in Marathi, wali in Konkani), amaranth (math) both red & green are a few greens which are in their best form in the early monsoon.

During monsoon our body becomes vulnerable to infection and water born diseases. Fruits and vegetables like pumpkins, broccoli, spinach, lettuce, sweet potatoes, corn, eggplant, cauliflower, apples, beets, ginger, garlic, brussel sprouts etc. are good to consume during this season.

Surprisingly or shall I say its Nature’s Gift to mankind that it produces few wild weeds and vegetable which are grown only during monsoon. Wild weeds like Shevala, Taikele (Tora), Phodshi (Kooli/Peva/Mulshi/Dongras) are very commonly found in patches of forest and hillside. They are known to have some medicinal properties that increases the immunity level and hence recommended to consume during this season. As these weeds are available only during monsoon one should grab the opportunity & reap the benefits of Nature’s Bounty!

Health is Wealth ... Tasty Whey Soup with Paneer



Whey Soup

These days people have become more and more health conscious and the awareness of the ingredients have increased. Before consuming anything people are doing a lot of research about the nutritive value of a particular ingredient. With the increasing health awareness people have consciously changed their eating habits from refined and junk food to organic and whole natural food. This has now become a Healthy Food Trend.

The concept of eating protein-rich food has now become an in these days in order to maintain the health and to stay in shape. In fact, people have now started experimenting at home cooking in order to keep themselves fit, according to Godrej Food Trends Report 2018.

When talking about proteins paneer is the most common and favorite amongst the vegetarians. And if it’s a homemade paneer; then it's like “Sone pe Suhaga"


Paneer

The milky liquid that is left behind while making the paneer is called Whey. Commercially, this whey is processed & formed into a powder and sold in the market as Whey Protein Powder. Whey protein is considered as a complete protein as it contains all 9 amino acids. This is highly recommended in health and slimming industry as a functional food for its nutritional properties. Research says that this has possible benefit for weight loss and lowering cholesterol level. It’s also been observed that whey improves immune response in children with asthma. According to research published in the International Dairy Journal, found that whey beverages help in reducing blood pressure in the patient with high blood pressure.

Whey

However, at home, it mostly ends down the drain or we either use it for kneading dough or in making dal. This understated whey is actually a power pack house of protein, calcium, and minerals. It also helps in stimulating insulin release. So next time before you wash that nutrition down the drain, think of amazing benefits that you will be wasting.

So, in order to use this magical milky liquid,  I would like to share the whey soup recipe. This would add more value to your intake. This is a very easy tasty recipe with all the basic ingredients which are very easily available in our kitchen.

Make-over to the leftover rice - 'Rice-Tomato Omlette'

Rice-Tomato Omlette
We ladies normally have the ingrained habit of giving the leftover food a make-over. This is one such make-over of leftover rice, which reminiscing me of my granny. 

My granny (amma, we used to call her) once happened to visit her friend on Monday, which was her weekly fasting day and this dish was accidentally served to her. Amma, who herself was an excellent cook, couldn’t figure out that the dish had cooked rice in it.  Upon asking for the recipe, she realized that her fast was broken as there was rice & onions added in it. 

Nevertheless, though her fast was broken, she loved this omelette so much that this new recipe sought a place in our regular menu. So, she passed on this recipe to my mother and now on to me. I have added my innovation to the recipe. I am very glad to share this to all of my readers. 

I am sure once you try this, it will be a part of your regular diet. 


Rice-Tomato Omlette 

Ingredients:
Rice-Tomato Omlette
1 cup cooked rice
1 cup besan
1 tbsp rice flour
1 tomato chopped
1 onion chopped
1-2 tsp chilli powder (as per taste)
½ tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp garam masala powder
1 tsp garlic-ginger-green chilli paste
salt to taste
1-2 tsp oil for drizzling
few coriander leaves


Method: In a bowl mix besan, rice flour, chilli powder, turmeric powder, garam masala powder, salt, garlic-ginger-chilli paste together. To this add cooked rice, tomato, onion and coriander leaves and mix well.  Add water to form a batter. Adjust water quantity to form dosa batter like consistency.
Heat tawa and drizzle few drops of oil on the hot tawa and spread it well on the tawa. Pour the 1 ladle batter on the hot tawa and spread like thick dosa. Cover and cook for 1 min or till the side edges turn slight brown. Now drizzle few drops around the edges and cook for few seconds. Flip this omlette/dosa on the other side and cook it golden brown. Once golden brown on both side its done and ready to serve. Serve this hot, taste better with butter, tomato ketchup/ chutney.
One of the best ways to use your leftover rice. It’s like “Best out of Waste”.

When Diwali is right at the corner, we all start preparing for this festival of light. Along with the regular traditional Diwali snacks or faral, every year I ensure to make something with a twist. So this year the regular simple and easy Diwali faral ‘Champakali’ was made with double colour, which gave it a real flower bud look. In fact even I was surprised with the result. It not only looked beautiful but also tasted delicious.  The best thing of this Champakali is that it only looked complicated but actually it's so easy to make that even a child can make it. So I would love to share my easy, tasty and colourful Diwali Faral /Snack ‘Champakali’. In fact it one of my best Diwali Snack dish.

**********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
Tips for Sweet Version:  


a) If you want a sweet version then omit chilli pd and replace it with red food colour or beetroot juice and knead the dough. Please note by adding beetroot juice, it will give a different shade of red colour, but will add nutritive value.

b) For sweet version instead of salt to taste, just add a pinch of salt or can even omit it completely.

c) Make sugar syrup with 1 part of sugar to 2 part of water.  Boil till it reaches ½ - 1 thread consistency. Add cardamon powder and few strands of saffron.

" Sooi " - Traditional Curdled Milk Sweet Dish


Sooi
What do you do when you notice that while boiling the milk it begins to curdle???  You may say “Simple … make paneer or cottage cheese.  And then make ‘n’ number of recipes from that cottage cheese.”  Yep you guys are right but then what about the whey?  Either it goes down the drain or used in dal or in make chappati dough or in soup.  However, the whey is sour and it changes the taste of the final dish.  Also, some may / may not even like the taste of it.  So in short, half of your curdled milk is kind of waste. 

You will be glad to know that I have got a recipe, where you can make the best use of the ‘whey’, which normally get wasted. I am posting a very interesting traditional sweet dish for all my readers wherein every ounce of the curdled milk gets used without any wastage.  It is made using only 3 basic ingredients, Yes, you hear me right; only 3 ingredients and the end product is absolutely YUM!!! 

Basically, I am Not a person with a sweet tooth but this one is my favorite.  I remember as a child I would get excited whenever the milk used to get curdled, as my granny and mom would whip up this delectable sweet dish called ‘Sooi’.  This is our family’s recipe and today I would like to share it with you. ‘Soi’ is a simple sweet dish of our Chitrapur Saraswat Brahmin community.

‘Sooi’ is made when you first notice the sign of milk getting curdled. Do not let it curdle completely like paneer. The moment you realize that the milk is about to curdle/split/ spoil, you need to switch off the flame and start gathering ingredients for Sooi.  As I said you only need 3 basic ingredients and you are way to go ….

Traditionally in my house this is made only when the milk get naturally curdled. The taste may differ slightly if you curdle the milk purposely by adding any souring agent.


All that you need for this recipe is ….

Generally we make it when the milk splits naturally. Incase you want to curdle the milk, then first heat the milk and bring it to a boiling point. Once it’s about to boil add lemon juice/curd/vinegar(souring agent of your choice). Heat for a 1 min and switch off the gas.

If using naturally spilt milk follow the procedure from here. Now transfer this milk in a heavy bottom pan or kadai.  Add freshly scarped coconut, jaggery and a small pinch of salt (optional) to the milk.

Mix all ingredient

Mix it well and bring it to a boil. Keep stirring continuously for the first 5 -10 min.  Then you may stir occasionally. Make sure that it does not stick to the bottom.


Boil the mixture

Cook this till the liquid almost evaporates.  This mixture should be semi-dry.


Semi- Dry Consistency

Mix well. That's it ... Simple isn't !!!! The delicious Sooi is ready to be served. Serve it hot or cold, it taste yummy at both the temperature whether cold or hot.


**********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

Sooi Recipe 


Ingredients:

  • 500 ml curdled milk or 
  • 500 ml milk & 1 tbsp lemon juice/curd/vinegar (incase you want to curdle the milk)
  • 1 cup freshly scraped coconut
  • 3/4 cup jaggery (or as per taste)
  • Salt a small pinch (optional)

Gift of Nature - Phodshi - Phodshi Amboda (Pakoda) Recipe


Phodshi Amboda (Pakoda)
With the early showers of rain, we notice the transition of fruits and vegetable in the markets. The last lot of summer produce is on the verge of exhaustion while the commencement of new monsoon crop is just on its way.
The king of fruits mangoes are also seen diminishing gradually, except for some selected late varieties like Totapuri (South India & Maharashtra), Fajri (U.P), Fernandin (Goa & Mumbai), Mulgoa (South India), Neelum (Tamil Nadu), Samarbehisht Chausa (North India).
Along with the remnants of summer fruits, the monsoon varieties like plums, cherries, peaches, pears, fresh dates etc mark their arrival.

In the first few showers of rain several plants and other vegetation spring up with their tender and bright green leaves in a complete splendor, as though showing their gratitude towards the relief from the summer heat. Spinach, small tender fenugreek, drumstick leaves, dill, Malabar spinach (mayalu in Marathi, wali in Konkani), amaranth (math) both red & green are a few greens which are in their best form in the early monsoon.
During monsoon our body becomes vulnerable to infection and water born diseases. Fruits and vegetables like pumpkins, broccoli, spinach, lettuce, sweet potatoes, corn, eggplant, cauliflower, apples, beets, ginger, garlic, brussel sprouts etc. are good to consume during this season.
Surprisingly or shall I say its Nature’s Gift to mankind that it produces few wild weeds and vegetable which are grown only during monsoon. Wild weeds like Shevala, Taikele (Tora), Phodshi (Kooli/Peva/Mulshi/Dongras) are very commonly found in patches of forest and hillside. They are known to have some medicinal properties that increases the immunity level and hence recommended to consume during this season. As these weeds are available only during monsoon one should grab the opportunity & reap the benefits of Nature’s Bounty!
Phodshi (Peva/Kooli/Mulshi/Dongras)

The other day while I was in the market I noticed Phodshi at the vegetable vendors. Since this is the best & only time to consume them, I bought some and planned to prepare something interesting.
The heavy downpour triggered me to cook this interesting recipe - Phodshi Amaboda (Pakoda). The torrential rain outside and a hot piping Amaboda (Pakoda) is a perfect combination. It’s like match made in Heaven!
Phodshi (Peva/Kooli/Mulshi/Dongras)
A couple of years back this recipe was suggested to me by my uncle Nagaprasad Kundapur Maam. I have added my twist and made some changes and taken it to another level. The Amaboday turned out to be so yummy and mouthwatering, that the moment I served them, they were almost gone. Fortunately, I was able to reserve some for photographs. 
Today I would like to share my version of Phodshi Amaboda recipe. So that all my readers can make the best use of this Gift of Nature. 

******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

Phodshi Amaboda

Phodshi Amboda (Pakoda)

Ingredients:
  • Phodshi – 1 bunch
  • Chana Dal – 1 cup
  • Rice  - ½ cup
  • Chilli powder – 2 tsp or as per taste
  • Turmeric – 1/2 tsp 
  • Jeera – 1 tsp
  • Tamarind – small marble size
  • Jaggery – 1 – 2 tbsp or as per taste
  • Asafoetida (Hing) – ¼ tsp
  • Ajwain – 1 tsp
  • Soda bicarbonate – a pinch (optional)
  • Salt as per taste.

 Method : 
Soak chana dal and rice separately for atleast 4 – 5 hours or maximum overnight.  Then drain the water and leave to semi-dry.
Meanwhile wash the Phodshi 4 – 5 times in water properly, since they as wild weed, they have lots of mud on them.  The green leaves has a tough single twine, which is inedible, discard this twine. Mostly the twine is already been discarded/removed and then kept for selling, but still it’s always better to check before using it in any recipe.
Chop these roughly (including green leaves and white bulbs) and keep it aside.  Heat oil for frying in a Kadai.
Grind the soaked chana dal, rice, chilli powder, turmeric, jeera, tamarind, jaggery, asafoetida and salt.  Make slightly coarse paste. Now add the ajwain and the chopped phodshi and mix it well. Add the pinch of soda bicarbonate and on top of it pour 1 -2 tsp of hot oil.  Mix this well. 
Make small round balls and deep fry them till golden brown. Alternatively you can form small flat patty and shallow fry in a frying pan or tawa like Tikkies. If shallow frying, ensure you fry on both the sides till golden brown.
Serve hot with any chutney or sauce of your choice. I had made a special pakoda chutney to serve with this. Special pakoda chutney recipe coming soon in my next blog. However, these taste yummy even without any sauce or chutney.

Immunity Booster - Must during the Rainy Season

Immunity Booster
After a long long scorching summer, finally it’s raining ....Yehhhh …. The smell of the damp soil and damp road, makes my heart goes Gaga J.  It reminds me of my childhood days when we used to get wet and play in the rain, make paper boats and let them sail in the flowing water.  It made me reminisce how we would collect those rain-drops and splash them on each other and giggling at every splash.  Also, we would annoy the elders by jumping into the puddle and getting our feet dirty.  Those were the carefree days, no worries, no stress (beside studies & exams). Playing all throughout the day till our energy gave away …. While we would enjoy playing in the rain, I always remember my granny and mom would warn us by saying “Kids don’t play too much in the rain, or else you will fall sick”. But we kids as usual would turn a deaf ear.  Such warnings were mostly accompanied by a list of other do’s & don’t ensuring that we don’t eat outside food or drink unpurified water etc etc… Monsoon was undeniable the season of too many restrictions that as kids we had to endure.

Now reaching adulthood, I’ve realized the quintessential truth behind the rules n regulations imbibed on us by our elders. 

Sitting by my window sill reveling myself to the downpour, I let few raindrops fall on my face and enjoyed the feeling of them trickling down.  The sound of the rain is like music to the ears and a sigh of relief, especially after this long hot summer.  Watching some kids playing in the rain, I wish to reverse the time and re-live my childhood days by drenching myself in the rain again.

Immunity Booster


Nevertheless, as we Welcome the most awaited RAIN after the blazing summer, lets not forget that the water borne diseases also comes along with it uninvited. May it be an adult or a kid, everyone is likely to be susceptible to them.

However, there are always some precautionary measures which need to be taken to safe-guard ourselves.

While I was thinking, I recollected seeing one such remedial recipe on a cookery show.  They called it an ‘Immunity Booster’.  I immediately had the urge to make it and serve it to my family.  This drink is so tasty, that you would want to have daily. Besides its so very easy and quick to make.

Here is the recipe :

Immunity Booster: 

Immunity Booster

Ingredient:
  • Kiwi – 1 whole
  • Plum – 2 -3 
  • Slices of pineapple - 4-5 slices
  • Sugar – 2 tsp or as per taste

  • Black salt – as per taste (optional)
  • Ginger – 1”inch
  • Mint leave – 8 – 10 leaves

Method: 

Wash kiwi and plum. Remove the peel of the kiwi. Chop all fruits and put them in the mixer jar.  Add sugar, salt, black salt (optional), ginger, mint leaves and grind it with little water. 

Voila!!! Your Immunity Booster Drink is ready to serve. 

Serve this in a glass with few mint leaves. You may add some ice according to the weather. 

Its as simple as that :) and you are all set to fight those uninvited diseases.
