Bread fruit malleri Jeev kadgi vey??

Shilpa: Varsha, we call the unripe normal jackfruit as jaav kadgi. But it differs from place to place .See the discussion about it.

hi shilpa, gosh I love ragi mudde with chicken curry or soppin saru or even majjige huli. its a piece of heaven and i really really miss it here. my mom and granny prepare it really well and they also used to prepare it with another kind of flour ( mudde used to come white in colour). The best part of ragi mudde is its very good for health. I also miss the pani puri………….the ones they sell on the road side, guess no one can beat that taste .

Well, I have eaten at Samarkand a number of times and had enjoyed it very much. However, on my last visit, we ordered one of the kebab items (sorry, don’t remember which one) and I must say that it was actually over-marinated. That is, to the point where the tissues had broken down so much that the texture of the meat was paste-like; I couldn’t finish one piece, let alone the remainder of my portion.

Final note: I would definitely go back. Just watch out! I recommend the lamb shanks and the dhum biriyani.

Shilpa, I’ve already been tagged by Faith of mekuno cooking. I haven’t posted for several reasons – I was also extremely busy at work, then that copyright issue had me all fired up, I was waiting for permission to use a picture and a camping trip at 8K feet this past weekend. And, now I have twisted my back making it difficult to sit in one place for a long time. We got snowed out while camping and it was very very cold and windy. I think I hurt my back and the cold did not help. The camping was an adventure by itself and it was a ton of fun!

One more tag is good for it gives me that additional push. I’ll get to it this week for sure!

Shilpa……I liked the way you have presented. Must visit Samarkhand after reading abt it, one of the places i would love to eat before i die, and yes bread fruit/geev kadgi is also my favorite.
