Phagile Phodi/Fry

I am not much of a veggie person.Despite being a vegetarian,there are only a few vegetables which I really like.For instance,I have never bought home Bhindi,Chow chow,Ridge gourd,Snake gourd etc.I rarely buy greens.One such vegetable I got introduced to some time ago was Phagile/Phagilo.I don’t know what it is called in English,I’ve added a pic so please help if you guys have got an idea.

Usually phodis/fries are made with this vegetable and I have not yet come across any recipe which features Phagile.Whenever we are in Blr,father-in-law makes sure he gets phagile since its an all time favorite for everyone in the family.

Recipe Marathon - Day 5

Phagilo Phodi/Fry

Ingredients


Phagilo – 10-12,sliced into thin pieces
Chilly powder – 3-4 tbsp
Hing/asafetida – 1 tsp
Salt to taste
Rice flour – as required(to dip)
Oil for frying

Method
Make a paste of chilly powder,hing and salt.
Apply it to the sliced phagilo and keep aside. Add oil to a kadai and while it heats up,dip each of the slices in rice flour and deep fry the slices till brown on both sides.
Serve hot as an accompaniment with rice.
