This dish relies heavily on the mango taste, so the better the mango, the better the pulisseri. [If your mangoes are on the raw-side-of-ripe, follow the cooked pulisseri method linked below] Peel and chop the flesh or extract pulp by hand. Set aside. Dry roast the rice, methi and red chilli (if you’re using the green, add it to the blended ingredients in the third step). Once the rice turns opaque, transfer to the jar of a blender and pulverise to a powder. Now add the green chilli and mango pieces/pulp to the rice-methi powder; pulse to combine. Add the coconut and pulse again. Add the turmeric, salt, and jaggery to taste, followed by the yogurt. You want the sweet of the mango to stand out, but with hints of chilli, the flavor of methi, and the tang of curd enhanced by salt. Transfer to a serving dish. To temper Heat the oil in a small tempering pan to almost smoking point, and then add the spices in quick succession: red chilli, mustard, urad dal, jeera, hing, curry leaves. Once the curry leaves are crisp, pour this over the pulisseri. Serve at room temperature or refrigerate and serve cold – but always with warm sevai or hot rice.

An ordinary omelette with some not-so-ordinary additions, both telling the story of a farm and how it functions except you’d have to take several bites and think on all the different taste-textures that meet your tongue Home » Blog » Recipe Alert! Rocket & Agathi Omelette Feb 14, 2025 · Deepa Reddy An ordinary omelette with some not-so-ordinary additions, both telling the story of a farm and how it functions except you’d have to take several bites and think on all the different taste-textures that meet your tongue—the creaminess of fresh farm eggs; the soft, layered, lightly bitter bite of the petals of Sesbania grandiflora flowers (agathipoo in Tamil), the crunch of onions and the sharpest burst of rucola flavor—to know what I mean. Rocket grows bountifully in AuroOrchard in this season. A few leaves pep and omelette as you see or a sandwich, a few more make a rocket-lifting salad or a pesto, and even more are a simple addition to the humble sambar. True, it’s a pity to cook arugula, but when there’s more than we can use that’s exactly what we do. Thought sambar was just an idli accompaniment? Nah. It’s the medium through which to consume all kinds of usual and unusual ingredients. And rocket has all the virtues of cruciferous vegetables (think: broccoli, kale, brussels sprouts) plus being from your local Auroville farm. It’s also said to reduce insulin resistance, which means it’s good for diabetics and better for general nutrition. Rocket is the cultivated half of this story, agathi flowers are its wilder counterpart, bountiful in this season, too. The trees are a nitrogen-fixing barrier between two planting areas. Locals know the greens as potently medicinal, eaten infrequently to keep GI tract in good health; they’re usually cattle fodder. The flowers are gentler but pack a nutritional punch: high in Calcium, protein, vitamins A and C plus a range of trace minerals the body needs to stay in good overall health. And if not on an omelette, then stir-fried with beans! So, the wild and the cultivated, the raw and the cooked, the bitter and the sweet, the sharp and the creamy—everything in their right proportions for good health and happiness!

The difficulties to communicate between different cultures and backgrounds when you have no clue, when you don’t know the codes. I could really sense the various parameters related to the local culture and get rid of many of my conditionings, beliefs.
