What's new

Which vegetable's aroma you like most ?

My city is famous for food. People are very fond of food and all sort of foods and countless sweets are available here. I get a chance to test one sweet every alternet day.

This you're talking about I guess, someone gifted us from gawadar very similar to this vegetable .

I really don't know what's titori or vaal , never ate it . View attachment 435850

I dont know why I cant post photos here. They're not showing.

They are not green. They are cream colored. Its a process.

They are soaked in water and hung up tied into a wet muslin cloth overnight. Or maybe 24 hours. I confess I'm better at eating than the specifics beyond what I notice from the corner of my eye.

Then they sprout. These are then painstakingly peeled off their outer covering one by one (it takes 2 ladies or a few kids well over an hour to peel a large degchi worth.

Then its cooked on a slow flame, and keep boiling and bubbling for some time. Again the specifics of hours , minutes etc. escape me.

Its a deep reddish brown gravy. Best had with broon (hard crust bread) dipped into it. With spring onions and vinegar kachoobar.

Usually had with kheer and pooris. Part of the whole ritual.

Vaal (from Ratan Tata Institute)

I see .. It seems delicious .
I'll search it's recipes .

I like the smell of orange-zest (a fruit, I know ;)).
But vegetables...not really. I mean it is okay while eating and in dining room / restaurant but not any other time other room/place. I use strong mouth wash to get rid of any food smell after lunch and dinner. Breakfast is often smoothies, musli and coffee
