Tomatillo Guacamole šŸ„‘ inspired by @nytcooking r Tomatillo Guacamole šŸ„‘ inspired by @nytcooking recipe by @martharoseshulman 

Got a pack of #tomatillos as part of a #tucsoncsa pick-up. And after a few days in the fridge I had to use them! Martha’s recipe is really easy and straightforward except that it lacks #garlic So that’s what I added to my #guacamole 

Swipe through for the recipe. It’s as simple as it looks in the images! 

1. Roast tomatillos 
2. Blend charred tomatillos with fresh #cilantro sprigs 
3. A #garlic clove with s&p and chilli flakes 🌶
4. Cut and slice guacamole and empty into a bowl. Mash with a fork and add lime juice. 
5. Pour the tomatillo-cilantro blend and mix in. 
6. Garnish with #coriander leaves and dip in! 

I had some with my toast and fried egg. Creamy, citrusy bites of satisfaction! 

If you find tomatillos, you need to make this! 

*cilantro = coriander 
**Be ready for lot more @tucsoncsa related content!

Kumro Phuler Bora; Bengali for pumpkin flower frit Kumro Phuler Bora; Bengali for pumpkin flower fritters 

In this case summer #squash #flowers from last week’s @tucsoncsa pick up. Crisp and perfect paired with dal-chawal. While the recipe is from #bengal and was suggested by a friend from there too, I just had to make moong-masoor ki dal for #dinner 

This #dal was such a staple in my childhood all thanks to Papa whose favorite meal any time has always been ā€œpeeli dal and chawalā€ (moong masoor) perhaps a habit he formed from his childhood in Madhya Pradesh. Anyway, I digress! 

Here’s how I made the fritters: 

First, the flowers were washed, the stamens and pistils were removed. Then patted dry. 

While they dried off on a kitchen towel, I made a thin gram flour (besan) batter with ~ 1.5 tbsp besan, salt, pepper, red chilli and turmeric powder with fennel and nigella seeds. Mixed well with just about 4 tbsp of water. Keeping the batter helps in making a tempura like layer on the flowers which also helps to fry them quickly and make crisp fritters. 

Heated 3-4 tbsp canola oil in a frying pan and proceed to fry the flowers dunked in this batter until deep brown on each side. 

I had my bowl of dal-chawal ready and quickly plated my helping of Kumro Phuler Bora to enjoy them while still warm and crisp! 

Try them if you spot these flowers at a sabzi wala or even on the vine in your kitchen garden.

I love adding coconut to dal, especially when it i I love adding coconut to dal, especially when it is in dal palak. This chilli coconut and jeera paste is a staple for most Kerala inspired recipes I cook in my kitchen. It’s also the reason that I almost always stock grated fresh coconut 🄄 in my freezer. That and for coconut chutney for dosas and idlis. šŸ˜‹
Find the recipe for Chilli Coconut Dal Palak on the #kitchenpostcards #blog  through the link in our bio. It’s creamy and luxurious and a great way to eat those greens. Pair it with some steamed rice, roasted papad and pulli inji for a comforting meal.

Hello after a while! šŸ‘‹šŸ½ Back here with Bhar Hello after a while! šŸ‘‹šŸ½

Back here with Bharwan Karele, a no waste recipe for tangy, stuffed bitter gourds inspired by how dadiji always makes them. 

With a combination of achari spices, amchoor and gur (jaggery) these karele are transformed from the bitter greens they are to savory, piquant morsels that pair perfectly with plain parathe or chapati. They also make for great travel food. Place one stuffed karela in the center of a paratha, wrap and eat! I recall carrying this same combination on overnight journeys from Bhopal to Delhi in college days. 

While summer presents an explosion of produce in the West, options constrict in India. The same few vegetables do the rounds over and over. Making karele in several ways - fried, stuffed, with aloo - provides a change and variety. Try these melons next time you spot them at the grocery store. Don’t let their bitterness prevent you. There is an easy way to tackle that; included in the post. 

Find link to the recipe and blog post in bio. 

Hope you’ve been well! 

See you sooner next time ā˜ŗļø

New on the blog: Moongphali wali Patta Gobhi 🄬 New on the blog: Moongphali wali Patta Gobhi 🄬 or stir fried cabbage with peanuts. 

A recipe my late mother crafted, and for us, patta gobhi meant moongaphali wali instead of other combinations like aloo-patta gobhi (Though that has its own charm!).

The quickest sabzi I’ve made in a while that is also full of wonderfully complimentary textures and flavors. In each bite the sweetness of cabbage, it’s crunch still intact, pairs with fried peanuts’ earthiness and the mild heat of Kashmiri laal mirch. There is a bit of umami lurking in there too. As cabbage is stir-fried, there is just enough caramelisation and browning to develop a hint of umami, easily enhanced with the addition of lime juice at the time of serving. I though skip the lime and serve it warm with a few cracks of pepper. 

Great as a side with any meal, make this patta gobhi sabzi that was one of my mom’s signature. If you are on the fence about cooked cabbage, this might convert you!
