Hi Shilpa, This looks great. I wil try out this soon..I have a query. The dry coconut is we have to make small pieces and grind or i we have to scrap it just like our wet coconut..
Thanks
amitha

Shilpa: You are going to grind the coconut, so does not matter if you grate or make pieces of it. Also, fresh coconut is used for this recipe, not dry coconut

Hi Shilpa,

Your aloo potato curry was 2 good. My children enjoyed it. Thanks for the wonderful recipe. I am giving you a pudding recipe which is excellent. Pls try it out.
PUDDING RECIPE

Grate 1 coconut and extract the milk. Then soak 6 slices of Britannia bread, add crushed cake (any type of cake i.e. 1 small bar), cashewnuts coarsely powdered (3 tbsp), raisins (1 tbsp), 2 eggs beaten, 2 tsp vanilla essence, 3 tbps sugar, 1 tbsp butter. Soak everything nicely.

In a separate vessel, brown the sugar nicely. Once the sugar is brown, add the above mixture into the brown sugar.

Add 1 1 /4 cup water in the cooker. Put the cooker stand and place the pudding vessel inside. Keep the gas on high for 3 whistles and after the 3 whistles, keep it on low flame for 40 mins then again keep it on high for 2 whistles and then switch off the gas.

Batata song and batata vaag were some of my favorite dishes growing up. My mom made them without tomato and coconut with lots of hing, urad dal, chillies and mustard seeds. I guess it is a Mangalore dish since my father grew up in Mangalore. Really good and simple to make.

Hi,
Batata vaag is fantastic.Instead of frying coriander seeds,they can be added fresh while grinding the coconut masala, along with tamarind and byadagi chillies and grind into a very fine paste.Tomatoes are not required in this case.

Hi Shilpa,

Vaag looks yummy..makes me want to cook it immediately.We have it with shevai.I make it a bit gravy-ish so that it can be used as an accompaniment for shevai as well as idiyappam.Only variation in my vaag is I add lots of coriander leaves to it,it imparts a very good flavour to the curry.Keep blogging!!!

Divya.
