Gulla Bol Koddel without Bele


Gulla is a vegetable in the Eggplant/Brinjal family. Gulla as it is known in Udupi/Mangalore is a specialty
of the place. It looks similar to the Green Brinjal  found in Bangalore but tastes differently and cooks
faster. There are two types of Gulla that I know of - Mutt Gulla and Perampalli Gulla. (Please let me
know anyone knows about the other types of Gulla found in that region). 

Bol stands for plain/bland intending to say that there is not going to be any Lentil or coconut and it is an
accompaniment to rice. Koddel means gravy or an accompaniment to rice.
So, Gulla Bol Koddel (without bele) is similar to Rasam with Gulla in it.

You will need: 

Gulla - 3- 4.
Onion -2
For the Masala, you will need: 

Tamarind Paste - 2 tbsp


Jaggery - 2 tbsp
Garlic -3-6cloves
Green Chilli - 1-2
Cumin - 1/4 tsp
Mustard - 1/2 tsp
Salt

Heat oil in a thick bottom pan. Add Mustard, Cumin, Garlic, Onion, Gulla, Tamarind, Jaggery. Boil it with
a lot of water. Add green Chilli and salt.

Jee Kujje Dose


Ask any Mangalorean about Jee ಕುಜ್ಜೆ (ಜೀ ಕುಜ್ಜೆ  or ದಿ ಕುಜ್ಜೆ) and you will know from the expression on their
face how much it is relished. There are various things that can be done out of this particular vegetable
that looks like a Jackfruit but used only when it is raw.

ಜೀ ಕುಜ್ಜೆ ಕಲ್ಲಗ್ ಇಜಿತ್ನ, Jee Kujje Dose, Jee Kujje Podi (bajji) or the simple Jee Kujje koddel (Sambar) or
kodakena (known as majjige huLi in Kannada).
You will need:

Jee Kujje - 1 small

Oil - 1/4th Cup

Dose Rice – 1 cup

Black Gram – 1/5th Cup

Fenugreek Seeds – 1/4th tsp

Coconut – 1/5th cup

Coriander Seeds – 2 tsp

Cumin Seeds - 1 tsp

Red Chilli - 5-8 no as per taste

Tamarind - 1 lemon sized ball

Jaggery - 2 tbsp

Turmeric - 1/4th tsp

Soak Dose Rice, Black Gram and Fenugreek Seeds for 30 - 40 minutes. Grind coarsely the rest of the
ingredients and then add the soaked Rice, black gram and fenugreek seeds. Grind this to form a smooth
paste. Keep it aside.
Peel the Jee Kujje and cut it into 4. Remove the centre stem. Slice it thinly.

Heat a Dose pan. Smear oil. Dip the each of the sliced Jee Kujje in the batter and keep it on the pan.

the pan lid. Cook it on low flame for about 5 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side of the dose as well.

Dose Batter
Doses that my mom makes are the best that Shri has eaten so far. Many in the family keep pestering my
mom to give them the regular dose batter. Mom and I found it strange that people had to really ask for
such a simple recipe. The first time I ate the dose that my mother in law made, I knew I had to post this.
(That really is only to add some humor to this blog. My mother in law is also a very good cook. I am
planning to post her recipe too)

Rice - 4 cups
Urad Daal - 1 cup
Methi (Fenugreeek seeds) - 10-15 grains
Beaten Rice - 1 cup

urad and methi coarsely. Then add rice and beaten rice and grind until fine paste. Add salt to taste. Keep
this outside the refrigerator overnight to yeast. Dose batter is ready.
