2007-10-22T16:39:00.000+01:00

@red chillies,
yes:) same pinch;)

@suganya,
u can omit onion. grinding onion with spices is kundapurian way of making kodhel. usually my mom either fries onion slices or she just add raw onion slices directly with ground masala and cook. IMO ground onion actually enhances the flavour and if its upto u to add or leave them.

@sivani,
i still have to visit cardiff and swansea and they r in top of our list, especially swansea for special reason.
i grew up loving beets and started hating it in my teens but now again i love it. have u tried adding cooked beet puree to chapati atta? it not only gives fab colour ut tastes gr8. try it even if u r not a big beet fan and even kodhel works really good.

2007-10-22T09:18:00.000+01:00

@tbc,
there r many variations in gojju. gojju can be in cooked form or raw. some gojjus r curd(yogurt) based where as others r coconut based.
kodhel is basically from south canara (udupi, mangalore region) and is basically a coconut based curry. gojju's are quite sweet and sour where as kodhel is spicy one. gojju has quite thick gravy compared to kodhel. :)
i hope this helps tbc:) i
