Andhra Food Video: Kakarakaya Koora-Bittergourd fry

After a short vacation to Hyderabad, I’m starting to love the city’s culture and delicious food. Still in a holiday mood, what better way to hunt and share a food video recipe from Andhra Pradesh? Though this one’s not as popular as Biryani.

I have never liked Bittergourd much. The only time when I like having anything of bittergourd is when it is made into a Pitla / Kootu (a thick gravy like Sambar). Anyway, this video looked more tempting for me to try more of Karakaya (Bittergourd in Telugu) / Karela (in Hindi) / Pavakkai(in Tamil) or Hagalkai (in Kannada).

This one comes from Gayathri Vantillu through Youtube.com. Known as Kakarakaya Koora (Bittergourd fry) in Telugu, this andhra dish might just be good for a pleasant evening snack when the mood is just right.

Mangalorean Recipe Special – Cucumber Ghassi

Mangalore (in Karnataka) has a unique food culture – You’ll find a mix of Konkani cooking plus some Kerala influence with some Goan flavors mixed with traditional Karnataka cooking. Most, if not all dishes, substitute coconut oil (for regular cooking oil) which gives it a different yet delectable taste.

So recently when Cucumber Ghassi was prepared at home, I didn’t know it was from Mangalore. Apparently Ghassi is a regular curry dish in Konkani cuisine (Konkanis are an ethnic group found in Mangalore, Goa and a few parts of Kerala). I don’t however why they call it Ghassi.

You can eat Cucumber (’Mangalooru Sauthekaayi’ in Kannada) Ghassi with Rice or with Chapattis. It is less spicier than regular curries and is a little thicker than Sambar. I had a yummy time devouring it! Here’s my mother’s recipe: Continue reading →
