I enjoy growing vegetables, most are grown from seeds. Had a fresh harvest of egg plants, tomatoes and ridge gourd.
Avarakkai seeds(avarakalu) is available now, we in Karnataka create a lot of dishes out of avarakkalu. You name it we make it. Its such a tasty seed which goes along with most of the southindiancooking.
I made a simple molaguttal using freshly harvested vegetables and avarakkalu.
Ingredients
Avarakkai seeds 1/2 cup
Egg plant 2(small)
Ridge gourd 2(medium)
Tomatoes 2 small
Coconut 2 tbsp
Jeera 1/2 tsp

Method of preparation

*Grind coconut, green chillies and jeera to a coarse paste.
In stoneware(kalchatti) add water and cook avarakkai till soft. Add chopped tomatoes, eggplant, ridge gourd, turmeric powder. Cook for another 10 minutes till the vegetables are tender. Now add salt, mix well, groynd coconut paste, add more water if needed. Finally give tempering of mustard seeds. Serve with rice. Its one of the delicious dish.
