what is Avilu without haagalakai?
@ K.G. Bhat
Hagalakayi(Bitter Gourd) is an optional vegetable for Avial. When cooked in huge quantity, say for around 100 people it is ideal to use 1 or 2 bitter gourds. When cooking for small family like 2 or 3 members, we can use 2-3 small pieces of bitter gourd. If we add more, it will spoil the taste!
What is 'Kootu' and how is it prepared?
@Anonymous,
Actual meaning of Kutu is Curry. It can be prepared with different verity of vegetables like Malbar Spinach, Eggplant(Brinjal), etc. The recipe method used for each vegetable is also different.
