Vankaya Pakodi Kura is a traditional Andhra dish made with brinjal and deep fried besan fritters often served during wedding or other special occasions. My recipe is slightly contrary to the original recipe, as the original calls for deep frying brinjal pieces.  Its upto you, either deep fry or saute… whichever you choose the final dish will still look good and taste great.

Zunka anyone ?? What on earth could this be? (Obviously for anyone with no Hindi or Marathi background) Exactly! that was my first  thought when I heard this name from a colleague who brought this beautiful dish for a potluck. It was so colourful and I couldn't resist my temptation to explore it. Zunka is a humble Maharashtrian dish… almost a staple there, simply meaning stir-fry, smeared with besan, a quicker version of Usili or Pithali, often made with just onions.

Podale Cutlets – Stuffed Snake Gourd

Snake Gourd is called Podale in Konkani. Mostly this vegetable is stir-fried like poriyal or used with dal to make kootu varieties. But to my surprise.. one Goan restaurant served them as appetizer in a buffet and that's how I got the idea for this recipe. Well.. those were deep fried with semolina and stuffed with meat. You must have probably had a shot of these if you've already tried any of those Mangalorean style buffets.
