Sunday, April 05, 2015. Kasha with Opo Squash and Carrots with Coconut, Curry Leaves and Chilies. Opo squash and carrots mingled with curry leaves and coconut and chilies is a favorite combination. Simply cook the veggies; grind some coconut, chilies and curry leaves; stir it into the cooked veggies and serve warm; adjust salt to taste. Easy to make, this side can be served with roti, naan, rice or even quinoa. Posted by Sheela @ Sunday, April 05, 2015. Links to this post:. Fried Rice Noodle Pancake.

Delectable Victuals: Home Garden Eggplant, Kale, Chard, Mint Rice with Lemon Cucumber Cherry Raita

http://delectable-victuals.blogspot.com/2015/07/home-garden-eggplant-kale-chard-mint.html

Tuesday, July 21, 2015. Home Garden Eggplant, Kale, Chard, Mint Rice with Lemon Cucumber Cherry Raita. Summer has been rather hot around here, and I haven't been cooking anything new or interesting. Just the same trusted comfort foods. And a lot of salads. Home garden lettuce and kale have come in handy for the salad base so far. Posted by Sheela @ Tuesday, July 21, 2015. Links to this post:.

Delectable Victuals: Roast Tomatoes Flavored with Home Garden Fennel and Basil

http://delectable-victuals.blogspot.com/2015/07/roast-tomatoes-flavored-with-home.html

Friday, July 24, 2015. Roast Tomatoes Flavored with Home Garden Fennel and Basil. Sometimes, the simplicity and the earthiness is what makes a recipe special to me, not the long list of ingredients and complex steps to achieve the results. No doubt, traditional multi-tiered recipes have their merits, especially around holiday traditions and wintertime, but summers are for wholesome simplicity. That was popular a few years ago. I have some Yellow Pear, Sweet Cherry, and Grape tomatoes in there, plus s...

Delectable Victuals: Whole Okra with Mayocoba Beans

http://delectable-victuals.blogspot.com/2015/05/whole-okra-with-mayocoba-beans.html

Saturday, May 09, 2015. Whole Okra with Mayocoba Beans. Mayocoba or Peruano beans have a meatier texture and a satisfying flavor compared to white or navy beans. Typically, I soak it overnight and pressure cook it to firm yet soft consistency, not mushy. This simple side can be served with rotis, naan, basmati rice, or eaten as is. Simply saute the onions and green bell peppers, add the par-cooked okra, season to taste, when okra is mostly done, stir in the cooked mayocoba beans, adjust seasoning. Luffa,...

Delectable Victuals: Broccoli Stem Saute

http://delectable-victuals.blogspot.com/2015/04/broccoli-stem-saute.html

Sunday, April 12, 2015. Steamed broccoli florets with some cheese is a favorite side for the kids. They prefer just the florets, not much of the stalk/stem. So, I save the stem for this dish, a quick and easy side for weeknight. Instead of pan-sauteing as shared in this method, toss with some olive oil, salt and pepper and roast it in a 400 F oven in a single layer, for about 15 minutes or more as desired. Broccoli stem, cut into uniform pieces. Red onion, sliced. 1 tsp olive oil. Links to this post:.

Delectable Victuals: Lentil Sprouts Salad with Bok Choy and Bell Peppers

http://delectable-victuals.blogspot.com/2015/05/lentil-sprouts-salad-with-bok-choy-and.html

Sunday, May 24, 2015. Lentil Sprouts Salad with Bok Choy and Bell Peppers. I don't do it as often as I'd like to - sprouting the lentils and beans, I mean. But, every once in a while, when I get a batch sprouted and ready, it is a giddying feeling. Yeah, it doesn't take much to make me giddy with excitement. One part of it formed the base of a cobb or gado-gado style salad - sauteed sprouts with just a casual arrangement of available veggies, with an eye to color, topped with a simple vinaigrette. Hong K...

Delectable Victuals: Plaintain, Carrot, Potato, Zucchini Coconut Poduthuval

http://delectable-victuals.blogspot.com/2015/06/plaintain-carrot-potato-zucchini.html

Friday, June 05, 2015. Plaintain, Carrot, Potato, Zucchini Coconut Poduthuval. Plantain and coconut featured in my meals quite frequently during my formative years. Coconut and green chilies ground together to a powdery mix, with no water added, is a favorite spicing additive to many vegetable dishes in my kitchen. Plantain, when green and not too ripe, is wonderful as a vegetable in savory dishes. Peel the thick skin before using. Posted by Sheela @ Friday, June 05, 2015. Links to this post:. Eggs - - -...

Delectable Victuals: Bittergourd Sambar

http://delectable-victuals.blogspot.com/2010/12/bittergourd-sambar.html

Wednesday, December 22, 2010. Is a south Indian stew-like dish typically eaten with hot rice. Sambar can be made with any seasonal vegetable, any combination of them, although my mom would probably dislike certain combination of vegetables - like ash gourd and bitter gourd together, or for that matter pearl onion and cranberries. That I like to make on and off during Fall/Winter. Sambar Powder is the spice mix that flavors this dish. And practically every south Indian family has its own version of the.

Delectable Victuals: Mambazha Pachadi: Sweet Mango Fruit Pachadi

http://delectable-victuals.blogspot.com/2015/04/mambazha-pachadi-sweet-mango-fruit.html

Sunday, April 26, 2015. Mambazha Pachadi: Sweet Mango Fruit Pachadi. A Palakkad dish, this is one of my favorites growing up, especially the way my mom used to make it. Over the years, I've played with her recipe to adapt it to my current tastes. Kids don't like it, and the other adult in the family can take it or leave it. So, when I make it, I know there's going to be plenty for me. 1 large ripe mango, chopped. 2 Tbsp tamarind Sour Soup mix. 1 tsp red hot chili powder. 3 Tbsp grated coconut. Subscribe ...

Delectable Victuals: Chicken in Dark Cocoa and Fig Sauce

http://delectable-victuals.blogspot.com/2015/05/chicken-in-dark-cocoa-and-fig-sauce.html

Saturday, May 02, 2015. Chicken in Dark Cocoa and Fig Sauce. The combination of dark cocoa powder and dried figs in a pan sauce takes this chicken dish from good to awesome in my kitchen, at least for the other adult in the household. Not being a fan of chicken or other meats, I can take it or leave it. Some sauteed onions and colorful mini peppers form the base for the sauce while dried figs and a dollop of fig preserves plus the dark cocoa bring the earthy deliciousness that is hard to describe. Add 4 ...
