Of late, I have been crazily participating in almost every food event held in blogosphere.It’s very hard for me to resist any event and the moment some event is announced, my mind gets restless thinking about what could be my possible entry for that.The big challenge for me, obviously is that the particular recipe should be fit for the event and should be a part of Sindhi cuisine too, to justify my blog name So when Archana of Archana’s kitchen announced Monthly One dish meal event I kept scratching my head too long to come out with some idea.And after…

Its Confession time now and I am about to divulge few food secrets of mine. I hate to drink milk, gorge on panipuris and sevpuris atleast thrice a month, I drop in a blob of butter in pavbahji while cooking it (my hubby don’t like to have butter, but he wants a restaurant like taste too….duh !), I can’t resist anything deep fried, I love rice more than wheat, I go weak in my knees at the sight of samosas, I love to eat in restaurants, skip my breakfasts….so what else is remaining to list me in unhealthy eaters…..huh.??…

Health Zeal says that “The bottle gourd is low in saturated fat and cholesterol yet high in dietary fibre, vitamin C, riboflavin, zinc, thiamin, iron, magnesium and manganese. It also contains moderate amount of vitamin-B complex. Its high water content makes it very cooling. Medicinally, it is used as a purgative, an antidote for certain poisons and a cure for cough. An infusion of the seeds can be drunk to cure chills and headaches “ Yet this humble vegetable is neglected and people consider it as a vegetable for elder generation or have a notion that this vegetable is eaten…

Kachalu or arbi (Colocasia root) is very popular amongst Sindhis.It is basically root of Patra leaves (the same leaves which are used to make Aluwadis).

Sultry summers are gone here in Mumbai and monsoon showers have knocked the parched earth, giving a sigh of relief, from dusty, sweaty, nasty heat of summer. However, I’ll miss some of my favorite summer things, like making falooda icecream, chilled mangoshakes, jaljeera and of course chilled masala chaach (buttermilk). One more food that associates me with summer afternoons is Dhodho, which is a type of flatbread, made from rice flour.It’s bit sticky, light, not too much spicy yet it serves as a delicious accompaniment with any veggie or Dal and I just love to wash it down with…

Half of the visitors arriving here would run away, for sure, after reading the name of this post…..Coz; that’s a normal reaction I expect from people who just can’t stand the bitterness of karela (bittergourd). But this post is for those other half, who will stay and would actually read the recipe…Kudos for them(bravo !). This is the simplest, basic recipe for making bittergourds and a bit of modification, like adding sliced potatoes, would actually save you from making additional dish for those fussy eaters who refuse to even have a look at these” bitter wonders”. They can enjoy potatoes…
