Goli Baje

A popular snack item of Udupi and Mangalore region. It is also refered to as Mangalore bajji in other regions. This rules most of the small hotels and has a prominent place in star hotels too. ‘Nale raje Goli baje’ was the favourite line during the school days 😀 This should be made and had quickly as it tastes best when piping hot. It is a under 30min snack.

    Taushe/Cucumber Muddo/Gatti/Dumplings

    Taushe/ cucumber muddo

    Started our deepavali celebration by having this healthy breakfast made by mom. She picked up huge cucumber and very aromatic turmeric leaves on her way back from Goa temple visit.

    These steamed dumplings can be made in 2 ways. The base remains the same and in one version jaggery is added and in other ginger and green chilly is added. I like the mixture of a little bit of both.

    The ingredients required are-

    1. Cucumber – about 1kg
    2. Coconut – half
    3. Jaggery – as per taste(about 50grms or more)
    4. Salt
    5. Rice powder(idli rava) – about 1.5 cup
    6. Turmeric leaves

    Method of preparation –

    • First make tiny pieces of cucumber as we cut for salad.
    • Grate the Coconut and jaggery(this can be more if you like sweet) and mix with cucumber.
    • Add salt to taste and squeeze well
    • Next add rice powder and mix well
    • Keep it aside for sometime for rice flour to absorb water
    • Now take the turmeric leaves. If the leaves are big cut then in the middle.
    • Keep 2 pieces in the cross shape and place the mixture.
    • Fold from all the 4 sides
    • Keep in the steamer and steam for about 20min.

    Note :

    To prepare spicy version in place of jaggery finely chopped ginger pieces and green chilly has to be added.

    Alternatively you can add ginger and green chilly to this mixture itself to make it sweet and spicy.
