This one comes from my MIL's kitchen. Its another, one of those typical South Canara dishes. I love it for another fact that Dill leaves help relieve my kiddo's occasional Colic pain. It helps pass the accumulated gas in his tiny tummy which is the actual cause for Colic. It soothes his delicate stomach walls and helps increase his digestive power too. Its an easy to do dish and good to taste!Ingredients:
Grated Coconut- 2 tbsp
Sabsige soppu- Few leaves (only)
Tamarind- 1 inch peice
Hing/Asafoetida- A pinch
Dry roasted Channa dal/Chickpeas lentil- 1 tsp
Red Chilly-1
Salt to taste
Oil- 1 tsp
Urad dal- 1 tsp
Mustard seeds- 1/2 Tsp
Curry leaves- Few
Method:
Grind Coconut, Dill leaves, Tamarind, Hing, Dal and Red chilly to a fine paste. Add salt to taste. In a pan, heat the oil. Add Urad dal and Mustard seeds. When the mustard seeds splutter, add the Curry leaves. Season the Chutney with this tempering. Enjoy with Rice, Idly or Dosa!
Preparation Time: 15 MinutesServes: 2 people
I am weary of trying dill but hearing all the health benefits and your yummy recipe.. even I might just give it a shot. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteNo need to be wary of dill - it's a wonderful plant! We eat it here in Canada a lot: the leaves, stem, flowers and seeds are all edible. The seeds are more licorice or anise flavoured while the leaves and stem have the traditional dill flavour. We often make pickled cucumbers or carrots with it, put it with beets in soup (borscht) or put dill leaves with new potatoes or potato salad. You can make a cream sauce with it over fish. You can make "beetniks" which are small pieces of bread dough wrapped in beet leaves, baked and then covered in dill sauce. Sooo good! You can dry the leaves in a dehydrator and cook with it in the winter months - I love dill in curried salmon or other curry dishes and in omelettes and other dishes. There is so much you can do with dill :) I highly recommend it! And it grows and grows everywhere if you let it - my garden is full of volunteer dill. I give it away and freeze it, eat it, dry it, etc. Good stuff. So now I'm looking for what else to do with it. Today I brought home about 5 cups of it, once I cut it up. We shall see what good recipe I find! This one looks good! Peace and thanks, Rachel.
