    Dear Prathi,
    Prepared your Yennegai and Soppu tovve. We loved the soppu preperation. Yennegai was also very good and they made a good combination. I did not add that many green chillies for the masala of tovve and I guess I could have reduced the tamarind in yennegai. But all in all, the flavor of Karnataka was distinct!! Thank you. Just wanted to give you a feedback. Besides, I regularly prepare your vangibath masala powder and use it on various vegetable preperations too.

    Hi Kamla

    Good to hear form u Kamla. Soppu tovve will be god. Level of spiciness is again acording to personal tastes. Tamarind for yennegaayi may be u can decrease the next time. Some tamarind are more sour and it again depends how much sour u like it to be. I think all recipes can be adjusted to personal desires and tastes with a couple of trials. vangeebaath powder is very useful.

    Thanks again for ur feed back.

    Take care.

    Avalakki Vaggarane (aval/poha/beaten rice) -

    Thick Poha - 3 cups
    Onion - 3 medium, chopped finely
    Tomato - 1, chopped finely
    Green Chillies - 8 to 10 (adjust the level of spiciness as desired)
    Corriander leaves to granish - chopped
    water
    salt


    For vaggarane/seasoning

    OIl - 1 1/2 to 2 table spoons (doesn't absorb as much oil as upma)
    mustard - 1 tsp
    gram dal
    urad dal - 2 tsp each
    groundnuts - 1 table spoon (a must, as it gives a great flavour)
    Curry leaves - a sprig
    turmeric - 1/4 tsp

    • Wash the poha well and drain. Take this in a wide-mouthed basin and soak in water so that the water just floats 1 cm above the poha (for thick poha only. If u use thin poha just wash and keep aside, sprinkling very little water, else it becomes very soggy).
    • While the poha is getting soaked, chop the onions, chillies and tomatoes.
    • In a kadai, heat the oil. Splutter mustard and add the gram dal and urad dal. When they start turning golden, add the groundnuts and saute for half a minute.
    • Now, add the curry leaves and tumeric. After few seconds, add chopped onions and green chillies in succession.
    • Add the tomatoes once the onion turns transparent.
    • Cook this for two minutes or till the tomato becomes softer.
    • Add the soaked poha and mix well.
    • Add salt and a tsp of sugar (optional) and close the kadai and cook for 8 to 10 minutes on medium heat.
    • Check the taste and check if the poha is done. If very dry u can sprinkle some water n cook for a few more minutes.
    • Garnish with corriander and server hot.
    Variation
    One can omit the onions and tomatoes and use grated fresh coconut instead, for a different taste. When cooked this way, add the juice of a lemon in the end, to give a tangy touch.

    feedback

    prathi,

    made akki roti by yr recipe and it came out very well. My husband liked it more than I did. As Tamil/Malayalam natives, we do not usually make akki roti. So it was a good change and hope to try it again.

    Goddu Huli

    This is a kind of huli which does not use dal. Goes well with rice and chapathi Vegetables used individually are - chayote squash (seeme badnekaayi/ chow chow), Brinjal, Cucumber. Peel the skin if u r using squashes or cucumber.

    Ingredients

    Moderately chopped vegetables - 1/2 kg
    Green chillies - 2 to 3
    Saarina pudi or u can use sambar powder - 2 teaspoons (or to taste)
    Gram flour or besan - 1 table spoon (fresh)
    Curds/yoghurt - 2 table spoons
    Tamarind extract - from 1 small lemon sized ball
    Jaggery - 1 teaspoon
    Grated coconut - 1 table spoon or less (optional)
    water - 3 to 4 cups(the consistency will be little thinner than sambar, before adding the besan)

    Seasoning

    cooking oil - 1 table spoon
    mustard - 1 tsp
    gram dal - 2 tsp
    urad dal - 1 tsp
    hing - a pinch
    curry leaves - a sprig
    corriander to garnish

    Method
    • Heat the oil in a kadai and add all the seasoning.
    • Then, add the green chillies and the chopped vegetables and cook on medium heat covering the kadai. Don't add water at this stage.
    • When the veg gets soft, add water, salt, saarina pudi, jaggery and boil well till the raw smell of the masala subsides.
    • Add the tamarind juice. If the curd u r using is sour, reduce the tamarind a little.
    • Let it boil for 5 minutes.
    • Mix the besan in the curds and add this to the kadai and cook well till the raw smell of the besan disappears. The huli should reach a gravy consistency.
    • Garnish with grated coconut and corriander. Serve hot with rice or chapathi

    Goddu Huli

    Dear Prathi,

    Tried the Goddu Huli with seeme badnekaayi. It tasted great. However I have a doubt: Should the Huli be thick or a bit watery. Probably I added more water it has come out like huli consistensy. I am eating this for the first time so wanted to know is this dish watery like huli or more thick like a gravy. The taste was great but needed this clarification.

    Regards,
    Leo

    Hello Leo!

    Hi Leo,

    I am happy both chuntey powder and goddu huli came out well.

    Hurigadle (fried gram) chutney powder, shall post it shortly. Groundnut powder i am yet to try. Once i try i shall post the same.

    AS far as goddu huli is concerned, if u r mixing with rice let it be of huli consistency only. U can make it like thick gravy with less water for chapathi. That would be better. Usually, i adopt this method.
