Keerl ani Moog Sukho( Bamboo Shoot  & sprouted Green Gram )


This is one of my favourite seasonal delicacies. I prepare this dish atleast 2-3 times during monsoon season. 


Bamboo shoot/ Keerl


'Keerl ' is a konkani word for  ' Tender Bamboo Shoot '. It is also called as 'Kanile' in Tulu language. It is available only during monsoon season.  Tender bamboo shoots are grated or chopped into tiny bits and cooked along with sprouted green gram. 


Bamboo shoots/ keerl needs to be soaked in water atleast for 2 days to remove excess toxins and bitterness. Bamboo shoot has a distinct taste & aroma which makes this dish so unique.   

Jackfruit seeds  added in this dish makes this dish so delicious & so special! 

This dish can be prepared easily & quickly if all the ingredients are kept ready. You need to soak green gram drain & allow it to sprout well. 

This dish goes well as a side dish with any meal. Can be enjoyed with chapati, roti , dosa or sannas too.

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.
