Pumpkin Roll with Cream Cheese Filling and My Entry for The Fall Into Winter Round Up
October 8th, 2008Printable version here.
Olan is another vegetable preparation which is very typical of Kerala. It is made of Ash Gourd (also known as Winter Melon) and Pumpkin (both very commonly available vegetables) and and a handful of cooked black-eyed beans simmered in coconut milk and then seasoned with a little coconut oil. There are no spices used with the exception of green chillies. Yet the green chillies do not make it spicy, just lend a flavour.
Despite having no spices (unusual in an Indian “curryâ€), this is not bland. It is very tasty, full of flavour with the slight sweetness of coconut milk. No traditional festive meal (called a “Sadhya”) in Kerala is complete without an Olan.

A Winter salad.
August 4th, 2008Clare and I have decided we're getting a slow cooker (she's just made stew in her parents' one, which I will photograph along with my vege version for the next post).
Now let me just say, soup is the best ever invent-something-and-pray-it-turns-out things, along with stew. But I do have to say, Straight From The Farm inspired the base stuff for a good soup.
Before I declare this soup a work of sheer brilliance, it didn't necessarily go down amazingly well with Clare and Pip. Clare thought this might be because of the stock we used (which was vege), so you could try using chicken stock, but I thought it was delish.
