I added more water and it became randai(gravy) instead of upkari(dry dish) :-). still it was yummy. I have tried other dishes from your website too. Though I missed one or two points in each, they turned out to be gud. Thanks Shilpa for helping ppl like me learn and try cooking. Really ur blogs make the recipes look very simple and the photos are so inspiring. Your website has become the one point source for amchi recipes. Thanks and keep up the good work. Jaaith. athakk ithle comments pooro. :-) Hi Shilpa,

It was really good and different. I added some dry cashew nuts and also 1 poiled potato to give it a bit of nutty flavour too. Thank you for the ideas. Tried the above recipe.

Your recipe may just help us with are real environmental problem. Ivy gourd was innocently brought to our island, no doubt by someone who did not mean any harm, but wished to eat it. However island ecosystems are very fragile, more so than continents. Introduced plants may quickly become a problem. Ivy gourd has become invasive and is now listed as our number one threat to native plants. It is estimated that 40-50% of our island has ivy vines growing over the top of our native trees!!!!! As a natural resources planner I have been working with other agencies to try and find the fastest way to hold back the growth of the vines. We will never get rid of it and will be lucky if we can control it. We have introduced natural biological controls to attack the vines, but this will take many years to control and I thought that there must be something we can do now. That's when I thought, if we can't beat it, let's eat it. So I started talking to my Thai friends to ask for recipes in the hopes of creating a cook book to be produced for island residents. The book's preface would include information about the effects of introducing non-native plants to island ecosystems and ask readers to spread the word and develop a taste for the ivy gourd. Humans, after all, we humans make very good biological controls. Anyway, I would like to know if you would be willing to let me use your recipe in the cook book and if you agree, I would give you full credit. I have already received permission for Malay recipes from another blogger. Thanks so much for sharing your recipe in your blog. If you have any other ivy gourd recipes, I would love to use these too. Thanks (Si Yu'use ma'ase), Kathy Hello,

What is bimbi in Gujarati.
I find this all over the place where indian stuff has translation in every language but indian languages except a few. I am Gujarati and proud to be indian but this leads me to think indian people from different states hate each other.

Thanks. For information, export quality bibbos are available in nice half kg. packets in Mumbai at dryfruit stores which I happen to bring them this time. Many times Mangalore store do not have good quality bibbos. Shilpa, I tried your tendle-bibbe upkari and it is fabulously tasty and crunchy as I strictly followed your steps and no short-cut. Thanks.
