RE: Colocasia Leaves - 'Alwathi', A Tangy Dish #Foods
WOW, photo looks very inviting! To me, even that paste looks yummy. Did you ever try it alone? 😉
(By the way, I'm a fan of naariyal chutney).
I hope you used garlic today as it's neither Ganesh Chaturthi nor Ananth Chaturdashi today.
@xyzashu... I still remember your blog mentioning that your home is near one Coconut tree! :) and there are no other coconut trees in the surrounding....
And... Yes, that paste also tastes yummy. But on the whole, even after adding leaves, it gives a taste of Chutney.... Even with dosa it tastes good.
But time consuming recipe... Making is easy. But collecting the leaves, cleaning them, removing the stem portion etc takes more time...
What a sharp memory! But sadly, I don't get to eat coconut from that tree. The best coconuts available in our city are called Karnataka coconuts. Those are big ones!
Now when you say this dish goes well with dosa too, I'm trying to memorize its name. May be, I'll get it at some South Indian restaurant somewhere. Thanks for tickling my taste buds by helping me imagining something interesting!
And I can understand the time and hard work it needs to clean these leaves. But seeing the size of leaves, it seems easier than fenugreek leaves 😉.
Seriously, in winters we mostly get leafy vegetables here and it's a pain in cleaning and cutting. Additionally, it's cold and days are very small in winters. But we have very long days in summer. Would love to get these veggies here in summers.
You won't get this dish in the Hotels. May be because it's time consuming and if not made properly, then tongue and throat itching starts...... So no hoteliers chose to make this dish in general... :)
Ahh, poor me!
Then you can eat it on my behalf too! 😊
:) 😂
