This was one of my very first posts. I had posted just the recipe then and not a picture of the dish. Since its a coconut based dish, and I hadn't made it in a long time, I thought of making it today and re-posting it for Suganya's 'AFAM- Coconut' event.
The dish is called Udad Methi/Rosu, and the recipe goes like this..
Ingredients
Methi seeds - 1/4 tsp
Udad dal - 1/2 tsp
Coriander seeds - 1 tsp
Hing - a pinch
Mustard seeds - 1/4 tsp
Red Byadagi chillies - 6
Jaggery - 1 tsp
Coconut grated - 1/2 cup

Note :
- You could use few of these vegetables together or use them all. I have used Okra, Bamboo Shoots and Hog Plums today.
- As mentioned above, since I used Hog Plums/Goad Aambaade, I did not use the tamarind.
- I have not used curry leaves, but highly recommended.
- The ground masala should be slightly coarse in texture and not very fine.
- The final consistency of the dish should be slightly thick, so do not add too much water.
Another entry for you Suganya :)....
