Pagila (Spine Gourd)- Chana Dal fry with Ghee Rice.


“Pagila- Chana Dal Fry (Kantola/Spine Gourd- Bengal Gram Dal Fry) served with Ghee Rice” … simple- tasty combo meal … Yummilicious …

** There is more to ghee rice than that meets the eye, yes, it’s the emotions attached to it. Ghee rice and Pulav have a special place etched in my heart as these two spiced rice dishes were the first one's to have entered our kitchen in the late 1970's to be served with Veg and Non-Veg curries and I must confess that despite having crossed a time gap of over 5 decades it's still holds a special place in my cuisine. Some dishes are just meant to stay on and on for generations to come. A simple aromatic spiced rice loaded with ghee that tastes best served with any spicy gravy dishes of your choice.

** I have always loved ghee rice and vegetable pulav though these days biryani has taken over being sort of a one pot meal. I still remember those childhood days when we eagerly waited for Sunday's when amma prepared special dishes like pulav, ghee rice, kurma, chicken curry, fish fries/ curry, egg curry etc. The joy of relishing these dishes is something I still crave for and will for a long time for sure. Tried out a combo of ghee rice with simple chana dal fry with pagila and it was awesome. Do try out this combo when spine gourd is in season and enjoy with family and friends.
