Mangalore Southekayi Huli | Mogem Jeera - Meri | Mangalore Cucumber Sambar - Traditional Recipe

Mangalore Southekayi Huli | Mogem Jeera - Meri | Mangalore Cucumber Sambar - Traditional Recipe
One of the most traditional Mangalorean vegetarian curries would have to be the Mogem jeera Miri - a delicious all season curry made with Mangalore cucumber in a mildly spicy and fragrant curry made of garlic, pepper, chillies and onions ground to a fine paste. Some of them add dal to it.
This along with the right combination of foods made for a complete meal. When I say ‘combination of foods’ it means that a vegetable curry, for example, is always served boiled rice, fish (often dried fish), pickles & curds and the spicy red Mangalore papad We don’t have a sukki bhaji with this curry
The Karnataka cuisine is so rich that there are so many varieties of sambar recipes. Actually, the sambar recipe varies from region to region, family to family and the vegetables used. Some of them call it cucumber sambar.
This is almost mandatory to be served in Hindu wedding ceremonies, celebrations or festivals in coastal Karnataka regions.
List of ingredients
400 gms mogam/ Mangalore cucumber
½ onion
Jagger as per required
Salt as per taste
For grinding
5 red chillies (I use 4 bedgi and 1 Kashmiri)
5 peppercorns
1 ½ tsp cumin seeds
½ tsp turmeric powder
3 pods of garlic
1 small ball of Tamarind
1 ½ onion roughly chopped
2 tsp of grated coconut
For Tadaka
3 pods of garlic crushed
Few curry leaves
1 tsp mustard seeds
Coconut oil

[@ruparodrigues2584]

can we use tomatoes avoiding Tamarind

[@mangaloreantastebudsbyasha9176]

Glad that u stopped by. I have never tried using tamatoes for this recipie. It is always tamarind.

[@carrenpereira4393]

It was bitter I had to discard it . I wish you had warned me or told me how to remove the bitterness .

[@mangaloreantastebudsbyasha9176]

Sorry to hear that. I too have experienced that same five times. But i would check the veggie before cooking. I had stopped buying the same. Just cut the mogem n bite it. If bitter just throw it in the waste bin.

[@irenerosario8461]

I thought we use more pepper as the name suggests. Just trying out

[@mangaloreantastebudsbyasha9176]

Thanks Irene. Do try it out you will definately like it.
