Fenugreek and snake gourd seed sanna pollo

sanna-pollo

One of the easiest to make accompaniment for Konkani dishes is sanna pollo (spicy pancakes). This version is made with bitter fenugreek leaves and sweet snake gourd seeds.

Ingredients:

1 C rice
1 C fenugreek (methi) leaves
1/2C snake gourd (poddale) seeds (these can be harvested when cutting open a snake gourd for other dishes, placed in a ziploc bag and frozen)
1/2C coconut, grated
5-6 cayenne peppers [rml_read_more]
2t tamarind paste

Method:

Soak the rice for an hour. Coarsely grind the rice with the grated coconut and cayenne peppers with a little water. Mix this with the tamarind paste, fenugreek leaves and snake gourd seeds till the mixture. Make sure that the mixture is thick enough that it can form a tennis ball size without falling apart. Heat a non-stick pan. Add a few drops of oil (I typically spray oil),  place the ball on the pan and quickly flatten it with your fingers or spatula such that it covers about 6-8″ in diameter. When almost crisp on one side, flip and repeat. Enjoy with hot rice and daal.

MUNNI TRIVEDI

My condition was progressively deteriorating over the past 2 years. I’d been good at taking my medicine and exercising so knew I should have felt better. My arthritis and scleroderma were really affecting my quality of life. Increasing pain and fatigue were wearing me down.

Dr. Jenny and Ajoy came well-recommended so I got in touch. I completed a short questionnaire before my consultation. Covid meant it was all done over VC. They put me at ease, and it was like we were in the same room. They asked all the right medical and lifestyle questions without judgement. They devised a plan which was holistic, realistic and easy to follow. Their gentle and knowledgeable coaching kept me on track.

The resulting decrease in swelling and pain has given me a new lease of life in a few weeks. I feel so much better and look so much happier. I felt they were genuinely interested in my well-being. Happy to highly recommend them.
