MYSORE OOTA
During my college days in Bangalore whenever i used to visit my aunt during the weekends there was always some wedding reception which they had to attend,.and as i was there with them i had to go with them,..though i didnt know the host of the party..meal at those receptions was like feast served on banana leaves ,there used to be so many rounds first poori with bhaji ,chutney poodi,mix veg curry,then dosa,.followed by veg pulao,plain rice with bele saru,followed by mosaranna and finally the most awaited one chiroti with badam milk followed by banana,..huh what a feast ,everytime they used to serve i had to tell them salpa ,..had learnt few kannada words,..cause i dont like to waste food,..:-)...

food in mess was like torture for us,..rasam used to be so watery that the base of the glass could be seen,no taste in palya and sambhar was just dal with no veggies,..;-),..i used to survive on waiwai,cup noodles,bread jam,tang,..we were not allowed to cook..nd with so much to study,..there was no time to go out and eat everyday,..i had very bad health during my college days because i was very picky eater that time,..now with time i have changed ,...:-)
Coming back to the post i felt like preparing the same thali which was served during auspicious functions in Karnataka,...prepared bele sarru,mosaranna and cabbage and french bean palya from Lakshmi's blog for palya i followed the same procedure given here the only variation was i didnt use coconut and red chilli paste , rasam powder was prepared from vedas blog,for talmakhana payasam
i followed the same procedure which i follow for talmakhana kheer,..milk was not thickened much and i added finely chopped dryfruits too,prepared onion cucumber koshambri too,.i know this is not authentic thali ,.have missed lots of things which is served in authentic karanataka thali,..please post in comment section what all i have missed so that the next time i prepare the thali doesnt look incomplete..
this is a small ode from my side for the place where i spent five important years of my life,..thats almost 1500 days,...really miss Bangalore a lot specially when it rain heres..reminds me of the weather of Bangalore,..and ya my frens too,..;-(,.its raining here and this post plus the weather everything is forcing me to go to Bangalores ctr cafe have ghee dosa there with hot coffee,suddenly i feel so nostalgic,...:-(...
MANGALORE SPECIAL WITH TOUCH OF RAJASTHAN
When SWC KARANATKA event was announced ,Mangala who is member of SWC SINGAPORE specially asked for coastal Karnataka dishes to be blogged for the event,..i thought of trying MANGALOREAN CHICKEN CURRY AND SUKKA CHICKEN
which is also known as KORI AAJADINA IN tulu, langauage spoken in mangalore and was really amazed by the taste because the curry was different from what we prepare for our regular dinner or lunch
,..try both these dishes and u will knw the difference,.:-),..we had with rajasthani missi roti,..sorry guys i dont knw the recipe for kora roti,..if anyone knows please post in the comment section,..i guess missi roti
was good substitute for kora roti,..cause i had made it real crisp,..have read lot about kora roti ,,will surely try one day if i get recipe.Addition of potatoes and red chillies did wonders to mangalorean chicken curry
further i added coconut milk too...;-)
DINNER OF NARKOL BHAT AND MANGO GOJJU
When i am really confused and cant decide what to prepare for dinner i have to do just one thing bloghopping to plan dinner menu ,..i saw narkol bhat in Sharmilas blog thought of giving it a try but for curry was confused had green mango in my fridge and when i saw mango gojju in lakshmis blog i knew my dinner menu was ready ,..so narkoli bhat with mango gujju was our dinner ,,,and it was total yum,..thanks Lakshmi,Veda,and Sharmila for sharing such yum recipes,,,
