Namma Kudla - Restaurant Review

" Namma Kudla ,  ನಮ್ಮ ಕುಡ್ಲ " a new small restaurant is serving people with Mangalore /Konkani food in Malleshwaram , Temple road. Bengalooru . (ನಮ್ಮ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು).

We had been to little shopping in Malleshwaram and we happened to notice this "Namma Kudla" restaurant downstairs in this temple street. Though it is small it has an excellent food choice, especially 

for Mangalorians/Konkanis. 

It is purely Veg. It serves Mangalore /Konkani food. On request it serves Kocchige/boiled rice which is favourite and healthy rice eaten by South Canara people. Mangalorians are happen to practice eating Koccige Akki/Boiled rice. It is not only healthy, it helps to keep your body cool and digest slowly and you don't get hungry for a long time.

The full Thali is filled with Tondekai Palya/Tindli Dry curry, Hog plum sweet and spicy curry

(ಮೆಣಸುಕಾಯಿ), Divya halasu (deegujje) curry, Rasam, Ridge gourd Sambar and curd is served as side dishes. Pickle and pappad with one soft chapati goes well and fill your stomach. (Some what heavy but not uncomfortable after eating). Not to forget Yammy cardamom flavoured Channa dal Payasam.

It also serves the curries and other food dishes like Patrode,(ಪತ್ರೊಡೆ),  Shavige- ಒತ್ತು ಶಾವಿಗೆ, ಹಲಸಿನ ಕಡುಬು, (Jackfruit Kadubu) ಪತ್ರೋಲಿ  - Sweet idli done in Turmeric leaves, ಮೂಡೆ, Moode ( type of Idli), ಗೋಳಿ ಬಜೆ, and so many other varieties of Mangalore special foods. ( biscuit rotti, Mangalore buns ). One can buy food in Kilos here. 

We had lunch here and I was surprise to see the price. It is Rs. 60 only. I had kocchige anna and my hubby had white rice instead of kocchige anna. The rice (both the varieties) is cooked well and perfect. Soft but not a paste kind. The curries were just like what we have at home with out much oil and exact spice content.

Patroli a sweet kaikadubu done in Turmeric leaves. Normally a special festive dish during Nagara Panchami. It is very nice and tasty.

Avocado - Nuts Desert

Avokado Nuts desert is a mild sweet desert, you can say its like an ice cream, soft, smooth and healthy desert which help us to gain many healthy benefits.

I have used Avocado, little honey and loads of Almonds and cashews. 

I remember Usha Bopayya who used to treat us with Avocado along with yummy breakfast whenever we stayed with her in Mysore. (Avocados are from her own Estate). It was the first time I had tasted this yummy fruit in Usha |Bopayya's house. She is such a nice kind lovable human being and she treats us like her own kids. 

These particular Avocado is brought from Usha Suresh Cukkemane. Suresh and Usha are our family friends and we are like family members. (All friends circle from Dubai). I was very curious to prepare this desert. I have added dates and figs, honey and cashews, brought from Goa by Yadu Rajiv ( RishiKanth Somayaji's friend), Almond flakes  are from Krishnaveni Beedarhalli. (Vidya's sister).
Let us see some benefits of Avocado.
Avocado is filled with nutrients, minerals and vitamins. Avocado helps us to have healthy eyes, protect our skin. It is good for maintaining blood sugar levels. It has a good source of antioxidant properties. It helps in blood circulation and to build stronger bones. It helps in easy digestion and prevents the bad breath. It also helps in K vitamin deficiency related bleeding disorder. It takes care of our heart health and liver care. Avocado has a high fatty acid content but it is very low in cholesterol. They are rich in vitamins and minerals. They are good source of monounsaturated fatty acids. They are low in sugar content. Avocado is rich source of energy. They contain minerals like calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, copper, manganese, phosphorus and zinc. The minerals in avocado are Vitamin C, B6, B 12, Vitamin A, Vitamin D, Vitamin K and Vitamin E. They are good source of dietary fiber. Avocado is rich in potassium and it balances the potassium and sodium level in our body, which is very important for overall health.
You can use Avocado to prepare dips or for sandwiches, milk shake, smoothie and other dishes.
Let us see the recipe now.

Note : 

Do not add any water for this desert. I have used honey for the sweetness. Instead of honey you can use sugar/jaggery /Palm jaggery or even jaggery. You can powder cashews and almonds in a mixi and then used it. Roasting of almonds and blag grapes.
Using Avocado instead of butter is a healthy option.
