This image is of Kanika’s Nani ji, maternal gran This image is of Kanika’s Nani ji, maternal grandmother, making pede (dough balls) for phulke (chapati in Punjabi). It captures what we delve in The Dispatch this month. 

For most of us, and maybe you aren’t the one, our mothers, grandmothers and aunts have been the main cooks in the family. Men having done little on a daily basis except when they wanted to indulge and make something “special.” As this month wraps up and with it events commemorating women’s history, we wanted to think a little more about this. Why has this relationship endured and is anything changing? 

Read our take in this month’s column at the link in bio. 

For our newsletter subscribers there was a bit more to go along with The Dispatch. If you haven’t subscribed yet, you can do so at the link too.

A quick recipe that came together using sweet pota A quick recipe that came together using sweet potatoes and Hon Tsai Tai - a green similar to broccoli rabe -  from the @tucsoncsa 

It is always a pleasure to walk into the courtyard of the Historic Y in the University West neighborhood of Tucson each week to pick fresh vegetables- greens, roots, and fruits. Plus the CSA store always has a cache of other local goods. 

So to use up my greens and sweet potatoes (which had been collecting over a few pick ups) I decided to make patties, and for those averse to greens aloo patties were made too. (Swipe to see images of the process) 

Step one was to wash the greens thoroughly. And then chop them up, stem and leaves. I kept some greens aside along with the flowers, which are edible, for a quick sauté in olive oil with garlic and S&P. Mind you this green came early in Spring just as #basantpanchami was rolling around and instantly made me think of #sarson ke khet! 

Next, washed and scrubbed two sweet potatoes clean. Steamed them in the #instantpot 

Once cool, peeled and sliced them. 

Then finely chopped half an onion, and some garlic pods. Add ginger if you’d like. 

For assembly, combined steamed sweet potatoes, chopped greens along with garlic, chopped onions and spices - s&p, red chilli, dhania aka #coriander powder and #haldi aka #turmeric along with one egg to bind everything together. Mashed with a fork until combined. 

Then warmed up a cast iron skillet, added some oil to it, and cooked small portions that had been patted down into “patties”. Flipping 3-4 times until both sides were evenly cooked and browning. 

I enjoyed these over two days with a salad and in a sandwich. 

They also make for a filling snack that can be cooked ahead in case you are expecting company. 

Hope you will make these using whichever greens are at your disposal. Try adding spinach, arugula, chards even. 

This was the first time I ever ate or even laid eyes on Hon Tsai Tai. It’s a bitter but peppery green much like mustard but milder. The flowers were crunchy and mild too. The sautéed greens were delicious!
