Bitter Gourd ~Flavours of Nepal

I am guilty of not sending my entries to events.

 Not attending to my e mails regularly in short I am not organised.

About the first thing I did this month was getting this veggie ready and today I am posting it in great hurry on the last day. Thank God it is a leap year.

This is my entry to Nupur’s Flavours of Nepal.

I love karela/bitter gourd/bitter melon/hagalkai/karla. So what best can I cook when I found this site when I Google for the recipes.

The original recipe is here and here is mine.

Mixed Vegetable Pulao BM#13, Day 6

Don’t we all race against time?

Food has to be on the table by 8pm for my younger kid else the next day is tantrums’ morning.  

Well this pulao was made in the similar haste the quantities were more than normal as we had a guests please do scale it down. This was the only dish we were to have and we were 4 adults, 1 kid plus 1 diabetic.

In my hurry I made some mistakes I will mention them in my notes things will be simpler if they are followed.

Masuru Anna, BM #13, Day 5

My childhood memory of Masuru Anna or Curd Rice is when we used to travel by train.

Every holiday we used to take the train to come down to Dharwad from Nagpur. The train was Maharastra Express; the time needed was 48 hours with a changeover at Miraj.

The train used to reach Miraj late the next day in the afternoon. The food we used to carry was all over and we used to be hungry, Pantry Car was unheard of. After a mad hectic scramble we used to board Karnataka Express which used to be waiting just for our train.

By then we were seasoned travellers my sister and I used to run after the porter, Amma used to bring my toddler brother and some small handbags and Pappa used to go in search of food.

Invariably we had just Masuru Anna and lime pickle!! Masuru anna by then would be sour but we loved it!!
