Winter Vegetables
Winter in Andhra and Telangana brings the delicious and most awaited fruits and vegetables. Of many, my favorite are sem ki phalli (Indian Broad Beans | Chikkudukaya (in Telugu)), chugur (tender tamarind leaves) and pandu mirchi (Guntur red chili, mostly used in making pickles). These are very commonly available vegetables in Andhra or rather say Guntur, where I have spent 25 years of my life.
Recently my friend is back from hometown. She bought bags loaded with organic and seasonal produce for all of us in the apartment. Apart from other veggies, I am happy to see my favorite sem ki phalli and chugur. It’s been really long, since I made sem phalli. So, without any delay, I started making my family favorite sem ki phalli gosht recipe. I asked my friend to stay back for lunch, as she was tired of journey.

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…
