My Delicious Veg. Thali No~ 460.


“My Delicious Veg. Thali No~ 460 : Tava Fried Pagila Podi (Spine Gourd/ Teasel Gourd/ Kantola Fries), Tingalavro- Batate SaarUpkari (White Beans- Potato Patla Bhaji), French Bean Upkari (Bhaji), SheetHa (Rice)" … it’s always a delight to enjoy a few slices of crispy fried pagila during meals when in season … my thali today includes all of my favorite dishes from GSB Konkani Saraswat Cuisine … tastes excellent served steaming hot when it rains crazy … Yummilicious ...

** Come monsoon and in my home we love relishing a few podi/ fries during meals. The aroma of tava frying/ deep frying of veggies until crisp always makes one hungry and reach out to meals in hurry to enjoy them especially when its raining heavily. Pagila/ spine gourd is available only during monsoon and I make the best of it be it as fries or added to curries and enjoy them as we love this veggie very much.

** Tingalvaro/ white beans saarupkari/ patla bhaji is often prepared in GSB homes as its another pulse which is a favourite and in Mumbai we have to source it from Mangalore/ southern stores. The meal in all is simple one with French beans upkari/ bhaji included, remember I always encourage all to include one veggie or salad in your meals on daily basis for best of health, do try it for a change.

** As for recipes in today’s thali, I will be sharing links to them below as is my normal practice with thali posts as they are already shared elsewhere before and there is no point in repeating them again.
