Pumpkin-Peas Masala(Dudde randayi)
A konkani classic sidedish with cooked peas and pumpkin in coconut paste.
Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin pieces
- 1 cup dried peas soaked overnight or black eyed beans or toor dal(cooked)
- 1/2 tea spn jaggery optional
- 3/4 cup fresh/frozen coconut
- 1/2 tea spn tamarind extract or 2 kokum pieces
- 4-5 red chillies
- 4-5 Teppal Sichuan pepper or Jummana Kayi
- Salt
Instructions
- Grind coconut, jaggery(optional) and red chillies(If tamarind is used, grind it with this masala). Cook pumpkin and peas(or dal) separately. If they are cooked together, pumpkin cooks faster and becomes like a paste.
- Mix all other ingredients with masala & cooked pumpkin, peas or dal (If kokum is used, add it to the masala at this stage). Cook for 10 minutes.
Notes
Teppal should be crushed a little & used for more aroma. It should not be ground with the masala. If kokum is used, it should be added while cooking the masala.
Please read my post on teppalto get more information about Teppal. If pumpkin leaves are used, toor dal is used instead of peas.
