BEANS AND POTATO UPPUKARI...


This recipe is a prepared in a similar way as that of Ridgegourd Uppukari (Hirekayi Palya in Kannada or Ghosale Uppukari in Konkani).It is mainly is very simple to prepare. This recipe hardly takes 10-15 minutes once all the ingredients are ready. No need any extra ingredients for it, the ingredients that we use regularly for cooking is enough. I posted in this recipe because one of my friend said he doesn’t like Ridgegourd (Hirekayi in Kannada).So you can prepare it with other vegetables that you is your favorite like Potato along with Onion, Lady’s Finger, Spinach Leaves etc (No need to add jaggery to it). The recipe is called “BeansaUppukari” in Konkani.
INGREDIENTS: (for 4 members)
20-25 Double Beans
1 full Potato
Half a glass of Water
2 Dried Long Red Chilies
10 Curry Leaves
3 tsp coconut Oil
2 tsp of Mustard Seeds
Salt for taste (I tsp of crystal salt or 1 tsp of powdered salt)
Little bit of Grated Coconut to season it at the end.
PROCEDURE TO PREPARE:
1)      Cut the Beans and Potato into smaller pieces (preferably square shape).
2)      Wash the cut Vegetables thoroughly once.
3)      Keep the utensil or Kadai over flame and start preparing for its seasoning.
4)      Now add Coconut Oil into the Kadai along with it add Curry Leaves ,Mustard seeds and  Dried Red Chilies to the heated Coconut oil.
5)      Once the Mustard seeds start popping up because of heat add the washed cut vegetables(Beans and Potato) into the Kadai.
6)      Now add half a glass of water
7)      Add the salt according to taste or as I have mentioned in the ingredients section.
8)      Boil this for about 10 minutes (initially let it boil over high flame and later just boil in a low flame)
9)   Add the Grated Coconut to the Beans and Potato Uppukari before switching off the flame.   
10)  Beans and Potato Uppukari (Beansa Uppukari) is ready in an instant…….
 Like Ridgegourd Uppukari you can taste this along with White Rice, Dal (Dalithoy) and a Papad for afternoon lunch or the dinner; it’s a perfect combination to have them together.
 Hope you all have enjoyed this recipe too…….

RIDGEGOURD UPPUKARI / HIREKAYI PALYA

My next recipe is a simple side dish made out of Ridgegourd (Hirekayi in Kannada or Ghosale in Konkani).
Ridgegourd is full of fibrous content and is very good for health and one’s digestion. It is one of my favorite vegetable. Ridgegourd can be used along with other vegetables. But it is mainly used to prepare Uppukari. This recipe hardly takes 10-15 minutes once all the ingredients are ready. You don’t need any special ingredients for it, the ingredients that you use regularly for cooking other recipes is enough. We at home prepare this dish with many other vegetables as well but I will be using Ridgegourd in here. The recipe is called “Ghosale Uppukari” in Konkani.


INGREDIENTS: (for 4 members)
3 Long Ridgegourd Vegetable
Half a glass of Water
2 Dried Long Red Chilies
10 Curry Leaves
1 tsp Urad Dal (u can add more if u wish)
3 tsp coconut Oil
2 tsp of Mustard Seeds
Small piece of Jaggery
Salt for taste (I tsp of crystal salt or 2 tsp of powdered salt)
PROCEDURE TO PREPARE:
1)     Peel the skin of Ridgegourd and  cut it into smaller pieces (preferably square shape).
2)      Wash the cut Ridgegourd properly once.
3)      Keep the utensil or Kadai over flame and start preparing for its seasoning.
4)      Now add Coconut Oil into the Kadai along with it add Urad Dal, Curry Leaves and Dried Red Chilies to the heated Coconut oil.
5)      Once the Mustard seeds start popping up because of heat add the washed Ridgegourd into the Kadai.
6)      Now add half a glass of water
7)      Add the salt according to taste or as I have mentioned in the ingredients section.
8)      Add Jaggery to the boiling Ridgegourd pieces.
9)      Boil this for about 10 minutes (initially let it boil over high flame and later just boil Ridgegourd Uppukari in low flame)
10)  Your Ridgegourd Uppukari/Hirekayi Palya/Ghosale Uppukari is readily instantly…….





One more tip I would like to give is don’t add too much of water to vegetables like Ridgegourd and Snakegourd when boiling it because they release water when they get boiled: so add only little water for it to boil.
You can taste this recipe along with White Rice, Dal (Dalithoy) for afternoon lunch or the dinner; it’s a perfect combination to taste.
Hope you all have enjoyed this recipe.I will be back with more recipes, till then Eat healthy food and stay fit…………….

Thank you Once again
