Comforting Winter Recipes

Winter is perfect season to enjoy hot, spicy, nourishing and comforting  soups, porridges, stews, casseroles, etc. Though winter is mild in southern parts of India, months from November to January are perfect time to indulge seasonal produce. Winter Greens like palak, methi, sarso, kulfa, etc. are seasons most loved leafy vegetables. Apart from these, white radish, turnips, green peas, sem ki phalli (Chikkudu Kaya - Telugu, Indian Broad Beans), Chugur (tender tamarind leaves)  etc, are my winter favorite veggies. Some of the reader's favorite on 'Yummy Food' are,

Chugur Dal - Dal made with young tamarind leaves

Sem ki Phalli-Gohst - Indian broad beans cooked with tender lamb meat

Coin Sambar - Lentil and white radish side dish
