NIVOL/PALADE

Nivol with boiled rice is my most favourite comfort food. 

This is given especially during postnatal care due to its medicinal properties. 

Simple , tangy,  delicious nivol goes very well with boiled rice & any dry side dish. I prefer this with fried fish. 

This curry is prepared using ajwain which is excellent for digestion. 


Kokum peel


I used kokum peels in this recipe. You can use dried vonti sol( dried skin of sour fruit) or tamarind instead. 

Use chillies as per your preference. 

Recipe:

Ingredients for masala:

  • 1 medium size onion
  • 2 flakes of garlic
  • 1tbsp coriander seeds
  • 1/2 tsp Ajwain( voma)
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 tsp jeera
  • 1short red chilly or 2 long red chillies. 
  • Pinch of turmeric 
  • 2-3 tbsp coconut
  • Very little tamarind (optional)

Other ingredients:

  • 1 tbsp ghee
  • 1 onion sliced
  • 3-4 kokum peels

Method:


Soak 4-5 dry kokum peels (washed)in 1 cup water for about 2 hrs & keep aside.


Grind all the above mentioned ingredients for masala to a fine paste.( Use chillies as per your taste)


Heat 1 tbsp ghee in a pan & fry 1sliced medium onion till slight brown. 


Add ground masala. 



Add kokum peels along with soaked water, add masala water  & boil for 4 -5 minutes.  If kokum water is not tangy, you can add little tamarind too.



Tangy, tasty nivol is ready. 


Serve with boiled rice and any side dish of your choice. 
Enjoy this delicious curry with your loved ones.

Mutton Green Masala This is one of the oldest & most common recipes of Mangalorean cuisine.  This quick & easy curry is a perfect blend of aromatic spices and has a freshness and flavours of herbs like coriander & mint leaves.  This flavourful green curry goes extremely well with sanna, neeru dosa/ panpole, appams and even with roti, chapathi or boiled rice. My family loves it with soft silky neeru dosas/panpole.  The soup of mutton makes this curry so glossy ,  flavourful and aromatic.  This same masala can be used for chicken too.  Please note: Use spices as per your preference.  Cooking time of mutton depends on the quality of meat. Tender meat cooks faster.  Recipe: For 1/2 kg Mutton 2 potatoes, 2 carrots ( optional) Ingredients for Masala: 5 green chillies 1" ginger 6-8 flakes of garlic 1 /2 tsp pepper 1/2 tsp jeera 1/4 tsp coriander seeds 5 cloves 1" cinnamon 1/4 tsp fennel seeds 1 star anise 1 cardamom 1/2 tsp poppy seeds 3 cashewnuts ( optional

Coorgi Pork Coorgi Pork is the iconic pork dish from Coorg region.  It's spicy, tangy, aromatic & so yummy! Here is the Youtube Video for this dish: This is the most loved and appreciated dish in my house. I usually serve this as a starter/ appetizer with drinks.  The main ingredient which gives authentic taste to this dish is the coorgi masala powder, which is mentioned in the recipe.  The bright blackish colour and the unique taste comes from the souring agent called " Kachampuli" which is a coorgi vinegar.  This semi dry dish goes well as a side dish with any meal or as an appetizer/starter. This authentic coorgi dish is served in almost every single restaurant in Coorg region with super delicious rice roties.  Recipe is easy & simple if the coorgi masala is prepared well in advance.  Try this delicious recipe.  Recipe: Ingredients: 1/2 kg pork 2 chopped onions 7-8 flakes of garlic ( chopped) 1/2" ginger ( chopped) 2 tsp kachampuli Salt, little coriander
