Winter seasonal vegetables of South india
Winter in Andhra and Telangana brings with it an array of delightful fruits and vegetables that are a treat for the senses. Among the numerous varieties available during this season, there are a few that are my favorite and hold a special place in my heart.
One such vegetable is sem ki phalli, also known as Indian Broad Beans or Chikkudukaya in Telugu. These long, slender pods are bursting with flavor. These have a unique texture that makes them a delight to savor. Whether stir-fried, curry, or a hearty stew, sem ki phalli adds a delicious touch to any dish.
Another winter delicacy that I hold dear is chugur, which refers to the tender tamarind leaves. These young and vibrant leaves, harvested during winter are known for their tangy and slightly sour taste. Chugur is often used in traditional Andhra cuisine. These leaves add a zing to dishes like pappu pulusu (a tangy lentil stew). Also a key ingredient in tangy chutneys and pickles.
Lastly, no conversation about winter vegetables in Andhra is complete without mentioning pandu mirchi, an iconic Guntur red chili. Guntur, the region where I have spent a significant part of my life, is renowned for its spicy and aromatic chilies. These vibrant red peppers are a staple in Andhra cuisine, adding a fiery kick and vibrant color to dishes like gongura pachadi (sorrel leaves chutney) or avakaya (mango pickle).

About This Recipe
The availability of these vegetables in abundance during the winter months showcases the agricultural richness of Andhra and Telangana. The vibrant flavors and unique tastes of these locally grown produce reflect the rich culinary heritage of the region. Whether you have grown up enjoying these flavors or are discovering them for the first time, the winter season in Andhra and Telangana is truly a gastronomic delight for all.
Recently, my friend is back from her hometown. She brought bags filled with organic and seasonal produce for all of us who live in the apartment. I was especially happy to see two of my favorite vegetables, sem ki phalli and chugur. It had been a long time since I had cooked sem phalli, so I immediately started preparing my family’s favorite sem ki phalli gosht recipe. Since my friend was tired after her journey, I invited her to stay for lunch.

The secret to the authentic taste of this curry lies in the carefully blended spices and aromatic ingredients.

Sem Phalli Gosht Ingredients
Sem Ki Phalli – The pods are tender and have kidney shaped curves. With a slightly sweet and nutty flavor, these are often used in Indian cuisine. We remove the stringy sides and then cut them into smaller sections. Trim on sides, open into half, remove the pods (beans) and cut the outer green skin into small pieces.
Mutton – Mutton refers to the meat of mature sheep or goat. It has a rich, robust flavor and for this recipe, I suggest using curry cut meat. When cooked with sem phalli, mutton becomes tender by absorbing the flavors of the spices and ingredients.
Ginger-Garlic Paste – Provides a pungent, aromatic flavor that enhances the overall taste of the dish.
Onion – Add sweetness and depth of flavor to recipe by adding texture and flavor.
Red Chili Powder – Adds heat and vibrant red color to dishes. The spiciness level can vary based on the type of chili used. It’s a staple spice in Indian cuisine, used to add both heat and flavor to various dishes.
Turmeric Powder – Adds a warm, earthy flavor and a vibrant color to dishes. Turmeric is also known for its health benefits and is a common ingredient in Indian cooking.
Coriander Leaves – Have a fresh, citrusy taste and can enhance the overall flavor and appearance of a dish. Sprinkle on top or mix in just before serving.
Masala Paste – Make fine and thick masala paste by combining dry coocnut powder, onion, roasted coriander powder, clove and cinnamon. This is will form the base for our phalli gosht recipe.

A huge kitchen which will take care of all your requirements including the props is definitely what everybody needs… Even I love a kitchen which has a lot of light coming in… Mine is Alhamdulillah well lit, but since it is on the ground floor, I am forced to cover it with some dark paper to avoid outside view… 🙁 This combination sounds really interesting… Seeing the curry, I feel I am getting the aroma… Amazing recipe dear… thanks for sharing…
