Vegetables Simply Irresistible..

Hi friends, sorry for the long silence. It’s purely due to non-availability of time i.e. ವೆಳಾಚೊ ಅಭಾವ್, ಡ್ಯೂಟೆಚೊ ಧಬಾವ್ ಆನಿ ರಿಸೆಶ್ಶನಾಂಚೊ ಪ್ರಭಾವ್…. Will some of you voluntarily come forward to fill these gaps?

Well, we being people brought up in costal region, always tend to think that our lunch or dinner is incomplete if there is no fish or meat in our menus. For that matter, some would even prefer a piece of dried fish (ಸುಕಿಮಾಸ್ಳಿ) or dried shrimps (ಗಾಂಲ್ಬೊ) in the absence of fish or meat item. Though living on 100% vegetarian diet may sound impossible for many, it is equally true that we can’t live without these nutritious and tasty vegetables.

However ardent (die-hard) non-veg eater you are, you can’t resist these delicious vegetables available throughout the coastal belt. We Mangaloreans (Udyavarites in particular) proudly possess a distinct know how as what combination of vegetable goes well with particular fish or meat. For example: ಕುಬೆ ಆನಿ ವಾಳ್ಚಿ ಬಾಜ್ಜಿ, ಸುಂಗ್ಟಾಂ or ಕುರ್ಲ್ಯೊ ಆನಿ ಗೊಸಾಳಿಂ / ಬೊಬ್ಳಿಂ etc. etc.., you may have a better listing in your recipes.
