Ingredients: 

  • Potols – 21 
  • Oil – For Deep Frying 
  • Salt to Taste 
  • Vepudu Karam – 5 To 6 Tsps 
  • Curry Leaves – (Washed & Dried) Handful                 

Vepudu Karam: 

  • Coriander Seeds – 5 To 6 Tbsps 
  • Cumin Seeds – 6 To 6 1/2 Tbsps 
  • Mustard Seeds – 1 1/2 Tsps 
  • Black Pepper – 15 
  • Salt 2 1/2 To 3 1/2 Tsps 
  • Turmeric Powder – 1 Tsp 
  • Red Chili Powder – 100gms 
Dry Roast Coriander seeds, Cumin seeds, Mustard seeds and black pepper. You can microwave them for one minute on high power. Then powder these ingredients. Add Salt, Turmeric Powder & Red Chili Powder and grind it to a fine powder.


Method: 

Wash and clean potols. Pat dry them with a dry cloth. Cut the ends. Cut each potol into two length wise. Heat a pan and add oil to it. When the oil is hot drop these potols pieces into it and fry on medium heat. Do not fry on high flame. Fry them till you get nice golden color on the white part of the vegetable. Then remove them on to a paper napkin or a news paper to absorb extra oil. Now fry the curry leaves till crisp in the same oil and drain them on to a paper napkin or on a newspaper to remove excess oil. Now crush the fried curry leaves and mix with the vepudu karam. Add salt to taste and mix again. Now our stuffing is ready. Stuff this mixture by pressing a bit, so that the flavors get mixed with the vegetable. Arrange these tasty stuffed potols in a plate and serve with hot rice.

Point To Be Noted: 

 Do not hesitate to use a newspaper or a paper napkin to remove excess oil. Instead of consuming and suffering it is better to throw away that extra oil this way. Oil is the main thing which needs to be put under control. Obesity, Cholesterol, heart blockages etc… can be controlled by using less oil. But our tongue craves for more fried foods. Do not stop it but control it. So eat fried items less and have good health.


Enjoy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi,

Please tell me where can we get this Vepudu Karam, in each recipe there are
proportions of the ingredients & Vepudu Karam is used for most of the
recipes. I don't find this in Bangalore. I actually don't know what is
this, so that I can prepare this & use.
