Edible flowers anyone?? Quite surprised to see that these were offered for a dollar a pint at my farmers market and coundn't resist buying. Once these were tossed and other well known flowers like cauliflower, broccoli and artichokes were given importance. But things to do change, nowadays these zucchini flowers are gaining more popularity… and considered gourmet due to its medicinal properties. What do you think they have the most??? Rich folic acid, so give it try if you happen to see…
Kale is one tough leafy vegetable with woodsy stalks and chewy leaves similar to Murungai Keerai, leaving us with few recipe options. Cooking this with lentils was considerably easy for intake with minimal effort. Tried this with Bengal gram, following traditional kootu preparation and had no problem with picky eaters. Fresh kale (green or purple) belong to the Wild cabbage / Broccoli family, rich in anti-oxidants with high nutrition content. These type of veggies usually get a red carpet welcome in my kitchen and will be honoured with lentil studded crown.
this veggie soup can be made in minutes,packed with all natures goodness,it can also be a full meal on a busy day.
Kailan n shrimp poriyal, Tasty side dish..Kailan is also known as Chinese Kale or Chinese Broccoli.

Paruppu Usili is a South Indian dry lentil curry preparation. Paruppu ~ lentil, Usili ~ Crumbled is teamed with Asparagus to form a scrumptious poriyal. Asparagus ??? quite a scary veggie for first timers to inculcate in Indian cooking. But trust me… it tastes pretty decent compared to Broccoli. In my opinion, fresh raw asparagus tastes like raw peanuts (crunchy and munchy) and cooked tastes somewhere between soft green peas and beans.
