Ridge Gourd( HeereKai) and Eggplant (badanekai) Tava Rava Fry

Ridge Gourd ( HeereKai in Kannada) and Eggplant (badanekai) is one of the simple, quick and tasty vegetable fry ever. I have already posted Bread Fruit and Fish fry with the same masala. One of my mom's konkani friend used to prepare this Eggplant fry. She indeed had a huge collection of vegetable fries and pakora's. Hmmm..yummy. It had been years I didn't taste this eggplant fry. Checked my refrigerator and found only two small Eggplants. Oh! I used the rest for Sambar. Still went along with the idea and included Ridge Gourd too for the yummy fries. You can include even potatoes if you don't like Eggplants.

Dill Leaves Paratha

Paratha's are very popular in Northern States of India. Lots of Paratha's are being added by the food lovers and in the restaurants. Being always tempted to have Paratha for breakfast, I end up trying with some greens for the breakfast. One such try was this Paratha/ Chapthi with Dill Leaves. Love the look of greens here and there in  the flatten wheat dough. I prepare this very often with Methi/ Fenugreek leaves, But this was my first try with Dill Leaves. 

Dill leaves is nothing but Sabsige soppu or Sabaski Soppu in Kannada. 

For all those who love greens and love this Dill Leaves, try this tomorrow for the breakfast or even for lunch or dinner and feel more healthier ;)
