Nuggekayi togari bele saaru recipe - Drumstick toor dal curry
Nuggekayi togari bele saaru recipe - This is a Udupi speciality. A curry made with drumstick and toor dal is a great accompaniment for hot rice. This curry is simply adorable with the combination of coconut. This saaru is remarkably popular and my all-time favorite.
Whenever I have this saaru, I need an extra bowl of rice. I think, it is very important to mention here that drumstick is very nutritious and its popularity is because of its taste and nutritive value. Vitamin C is plentiful in drumstick. It also contains Dietary Fiber, Potassium, Magnesium and Manganese. So, I am generous in adding drumsticks in curries and sambar.

Rava urad dal idli recipe - Sooji Idli recipe
Rava urad dal idli recipe - I am fond of all South Indian idlis. This rava urad dal idli is an alternative to rice urad dal idli. The interesting part of this idli is that the batter doesn't need any fermentation. Dal needs to be soaked for three hours and your idli batter will get ready within half an hour after grinding it. To make it more interesting, you can add green peas, carrot, chopped curry leaves, coriander leaves, green chillies and spluttered mustard seeds to it. But, we like it plain and I made it without adding any tempering and vegetables. I served this rava urad dal idli with sambar and coconut chutney.

Muga mole palya recipe - Molake hesarukalu palya recipe - Sprouted green gram palya
Muga mole palya recipe - Muga mole palya is one of the famous and common sabzi varieties of Karnataka and every house hold has its own version to prepare it. Muga mole literally means sprouted green grams and palya means thick coconut based sabzi which is also known as palya in kannada. The sprouted green grams and raw banana combination is awesome and it is my favorite too. This palya is perfect with hot chapati, phulka, rice rotti and steamed rice.It is very flavorful with the addition of freshly ground masla. The spices in the masala adds inviting aroma and the chilly powder adds taste and the coconut gives a thick consistency to the palya. For a variation you can use potato in the place of plantain and that combination also tastes great.
