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!

Here is the Youtube Video for this dish: This is the most loved and appreciated dish in my house.
