I had nice tender ridge guords and was wondering what to do with it and there you post a perfect recipe for it. Tried for lunch and it came out so tasty. the RGs were so tender that it tasted so sweet. the sesame seeds adds on to the taste. This one’s for keeps. Thank you.

Beerakaya is something i only use to make bajji. not the deep fried ones, but the sauted and ground chutney like bajji which i think descends from Andhra cuisine. my mom makes it and our cooking is a medley of Kerala, Tamil and Andhra

Sometime back had been to a highway restaurant ,which very unusually served South Indian Thali(generally its punjabi /maharashtrian/Gujrati Thali )and i found this type of veggie in that thali, i thought it might be sumthing with bottlegourd but the Waiter told me its berak or sumthng like that.His accent was hard to follow, so even after numerous attempts by the poor soul i finally gave in and simply dig in the rotis in that veggies thinking i m eating bottle gourd…now i know wht i ate that day

great job! sailujee can i ask u instead of boiling turai, can we directly cook with tempering ? thanks

Yes, you can directly cook turai after the tempering. I prefer the other method of first cooking the ridge gourd till soft and the water evaporates before adding to the tempering.

Hi,
Sailu, first of all you are doing a great job with your site.
I really am amazed at the amount of effort you put in to this site.
I have a 5 year old son. Therefore, I really read with interest your updates about Nihal.
can you suggest me an indian snack which can be baked so that it is not greasy.
I looked every where but could not find it.
Thanks and waiting for your reply.

Hi Sailu, I have been following your blog for almost 1 year, secret admirer of you. It’s fascinating to see simple yet delightful recipes. I love cooking and I try to post my favorites in our website as well.
I almost try all of your recipes and they come out wonderful.
Wondering if you have a recipe for cranberry chutney (our south Indian version), if so, please post it. I have tasted it few years ago in a party and loved it so much. Appreciate it.Thank you.
