Sol Kadhi..or is it Soul Kadhi? 🙂 Chilled refreshing Sol Kadhia perfect antidote for the soaring temperatures! This soul pleasing, palate teasing drink is native to Goa and konkan region of Maharashtra. Kokum the key ingredient used in this soothing drink has many culinary and medicinal uses. Dried rind of Kokum fruit known as Amsul is a regular souring agent in Maharashtrian cuisine and is used in typical Maharashtrian specialties like Usal and Amti. Kokum also aids digestion and has a cooling effect. Kokum juice is a regular refresher in my home during summer months just like Nimboo Pani (Lemon…

Dadpe Pohe (Spiced Beaten Rice)
This is a long pending post; so long that my friend S asked me to post it when I started blogging; and that was more than a year ago!

S Dadpe Pohe specially for you from this Sudama! J _________________________________________________________Dadpe Pohe recipe Serving: 1 person; if you are like me otherwise it serves 2
Ande ka Funda- Omlete:Curry
This delicious Omlete- curry is a great way to have brunch on lazy weekends. The inspiration for this recipe comes from a cookery show on Zee Marathi. A simple Omlete served with a little curry completely transforms the ‘same old Omlete’ to a fabulous complete meal! I made this Omlete –Curry for brunch this weekend and at the same time Bee and Jai announced this fabulous event ‘Click: the photo event’.So the timing of this post just clicked!

Go Bananas!
Jihvā for Ingredients (JFI) is an online monthly food event, celebrating the Ingredients and what they can do for our Jihvā. This is the brainchild of Indira of Mahanandi. This month JFI celebrates the goodness of Bananas at Mandira’s Ahaar. These are some of my favourite ways (other than just eating plain bananas) to use Ripe Bananas; very simple recipes yet very close to my heart and palette. These Banana recipes are being sent to Mandira. Thank you Mandira for hosting this month’s JFI-Banana.
Phodnichi Poli (Resurrected Leftover Roti)
A very popular Maharashtrian breakfast is Phodnichi Poli. LeftoverRotis (Poli as it is called in Marathi) from previous night are recycled the next morning for breakfast, by dressing them up with some spicy tadka (tempering). I also add some available veggies to make it tastier and healthier. Nothing is as comforting as a hot spicy Phodnichi Poli for breakfast! You can also substitute Rotis with leftover Rice, Bhakris or Bread to make Phodnicha Bhaat (Rice), Phodnichi Bhakri or Bread chi Bhaji/chivda respectively! Like many fusion recipes in my kitchen I love to sprinkle some Chutney Podi on my Phodnichi Poli…
