I have been cooking food since last three decades or so. In all these years I have cooked for family, friends, relatives and even strangers.Have shared home made cakes, cookies, pickles, jams, curries, koki, snacks, Pulav and Biryanis with many of those whom I came across but none of these ever fetched me as many applauds as this humble, often uncherished, ignored and despised dish; stuffed bitter melons/bitter gourds! Of course this dish is on the menu only if I know that the person likes bitter gourds. I know many who love to hate this bitter tasting vegetable but thankfully…

In my last post, when I shared some of my memories about Aunt K, a Chhapru Sindhi in our old neighbourhood along with her recipe of Thumaro, I was not sure if I would share another recipe starting with the same alphabet ٿ or Th~ since I am picking only one recipe per Sindhi Alphabet. But I couldn’t resist this one as this is a seasonal dish and the green garlic, the star ingredient here, is just about to disappear from the markets. So a wise person will make hay while the sun shines and a foodie like me would make…

D^ar^oon or Pomegranate is yet another exotic ingredient used conventionally in Sindhi cuisine. Generally the dried seeds of Pomegranate, commonly known as D^ar^oon Khaata (Annardana) are used in popular Sindhi food like Koki , Sannah pakora, Tidali dal etc. But the chutney made from fresh pomegranate seeds is also served at many street food carts selling popular sindhi snacks like Pakora, samosas and even Panipuri. D^ar^oon Ji chutney has a very refreshing flavor imparted by fresh, juicy, sweetish, slightly tart pomegranate seeds and some earthiness from coriander leaves. The hint of minty flavor and aroma, and the heat of chillies, well…
