Ashadi Ekadashi Special
Ashadi Ekadashi is a special day for the Hindus. Lord Vithala is worshipped and His devotees throng to His shrine at Pandharpur a small town in Maharashtra. Some fast and some celebrate! The Konkani community celebrates this festival by preparing Gajbaje, a dish which has a variety of vegetables that are available only during the monsoon months. Gharayi or roasted Jackfruit in coconut milk is another preparation that is offered to the Lord along with Urad and Rava Idli. I usually make a Madgane as jackfruit is not enjoyed at home. The recipe links to all have been posted below.

Instant Methi/Fenugreek Leaves fritters Recipe
These are instant Methi/ Fenugreek Leaves fritters which taste absolutely delicious. I usually soak Chana Dal/Split Bengal Gram and grind it to a coarse paste and then mix the chopped Fenugreek Leaves. Here I have used Besan/Chickpea flour. Easy, simple and simply irresistible!
Ingredients :
- 1 cup packed Fenugreek Leaves
- 1 large onion
- 1 heaped cup Besan/Chickpea flour
- 1 tsp Jeera/Cumin seeds
- 1/2 tsp Asafoetida
- 3 green chillies
- 1 inch piece of ginger
- 7 cloves of garlic
- 1/2 tsp chilly powder
- A large pinch of Haldi/turmeric powder
- A pinch of soda bicarb
- Salt
- Oil for frying
Method :
Clean the Fenugreek Leaves. Retain the tender stems. Wash well, drain and chop fine. Chop the onions fine. Make a coarse paste of the green chillies, ginger and garlic. Tip the paste, chopped onions and the Fenugreek Leaves in a bowl. Add the chilly powder, Asafoetida, turmeric, cumin seeds, soda bicarb and salt. Add just enough water to make a batter of dropping consistency. Mix well. Heat oil in a pan. Drop small dumplings of this mixture into the hot oil. Fry to a golden brown. Serve hot with tomato ketchup or green chutney.
