TENDLI BIBYA UPKARI

In this blog I have tried to give some authentic G.S.B festivals recipes.As name of my blog suggests Ritirivaz means traditions/rituals. A small introduction of G.S.B community. G.S.B is a acronym for Gaud Saraswat Brahmin. G.S.B are hindu brahmin community in India and a part of larger Saraswat Brahmin community. Their mother tongue is konkani many of G.S.B are vegetarian and in my blog I would like to give recipes which are vegetarian and authentic because on any festival or function generally non-veg is avoided and even many times onion and garlic is also not used.

So todays recipe is an ivy gourd dish which is very famous in G.S.B community and always a common dish on all festivals,  marriage etc. It is called as TENDLI BIBYA UPKARI

Tendli means ivy gourd, Bibya means cashew nuts and Upkari means vegetable dish.

What we need is 250grm of ivy gourd, 150gms of cashew nuts, 1 no potatoes, 4-5 red chillies, 1tsp mustard seeds, 1tsp black gram dal, 1/2 cup coconut, 2tsp coconut oil

Cashew nuts should be soaked in water for 2-3 hours 

How to make it is take a kadai add 2 teaspoon of coconut oil let the oil heat then add mustard seeds after it splutters, add Red chillies broken into half and black gramdal after the dal turns golden brown add ivy gourd cut into long batons potatoes also cut in baton shape and cashew with salt.Cover the kadai and stir after every 4-5 min. The upkari  will be ready in 12 to 13 mins then add grated coconut stir for 3 mins and it is ready to be served.
