Today is the last day with Yam Elephant (Suran) as - "Vegetable of the week ". Ending here with the last (of course not the least :) ) recipe for this week of Yam Elephant. It is Pickle made of It.Here it Goes...
Ingredients:Yam Elephant peeled &cut lengthwise in 2 inch long strips,
1/2 tsp fenugreek seeds,
3-4 dried red chillies,
1/2 tsp turmeric powder,
8-10 curry leaves ,
tamarind plup mixed with 1 small piece jaggery,¼ cup fenugreek leaves,
1/4 tsp asafoetida ,
2 tbsp oil,
salt to taste
Method:
Cut Yam elephant into long stips , wash and drain off water. Apply salt, toss to mix and keep it aside for 30 minutes.
Roast 1 tsp mustard & fenugreek.. Grind the roasted ingredients,red chillies along with tamarind and jaggery into fine paste add asafoetida &turmeric powder to it.
Heat oil in a frying pan, squeeze Yam Elephant pieces to remove water and drop them into oil and fry until brown.heat 1 tsp of oil in a frying pan, add curry leaves and dry red chillies to it , next add ground masala and let t cook for a while.now mix the fried suran pieces in it. add salt as per taste .Suran pickle is ready :D .
I am not much fan of any kind of pickle , so was little doubtful with, how the final outcome will be! Even I never made simple pickles, which my Mom used to make every year at home, so it was fun to try one pickle on hand, I was feeling exciting just by the feelings that I am making a pickle on my own :) . finally when I finished it, I like it so much that I need no words from hubby for approving it. :P .
Similar pickle can be made with Bitter gourd... just substitute Yam Elephant with bitter gourd!!!
UPCOMING:
Vegetable of Next week is -Spinach & fenugreek Leaves. You can participate by presenting any of your recipe made up of either spinach or fenugreek. for that you can email me that on blogpooja@gmail.com with picture(if u have any) and recipe, or just provide me info if you have already that post on your blog... let it be fun and little interactive... So all my blog buddies put your thinking cap on to create something new with this lovely green vegetable and make winter green rather than pink this year :)) .
I have selcted this veggies with the hope that spinach and fenugreek leaves will be available to you at this time, doesn't matter in which part of the world you are !
