hi !
Good start :)

[Surya]

Is it possible to make Bhelpuri and Paani puri without onion. Would it taste good?

[rajsand]

Hello Friends

Thankyou gv and sarithasai. We need more people to contribute to this thread, will be helpful.

Hello Surya.
Sure you can make Bhel puri and Pani Puri without onion and garlic.

Regarding Bhel Puri :-
make 3 kinds of chutneys :
Sweet Chutney : with Jaggery, Tamarind , Dates & chaat masala
Green Chutney : with Green chillies, Coriander , salt & lemon juice
Red Chutney : lots of red chillies, dhania (coriander seeds), Jeera (cumin seeds) & salt

While making bhel have tomato, potato, Moong sprouts( boiled a little), sev , Mamra and chutneys. Moon sprouts will give the crunchy feeling that onion would give.
Try it , will be good though the taste will not be the same ..

Regarding Pani Puri : Sure you can make this too without onion and garlic. You never have onion and garlic in this recipe.

Let me share another good recipe I tried over the weekend
This is a staple diet for people in Maharastra during their fasting days!


SABUDANA KICHIDI (JEVVARASI UPMA)

Serves : 4
Ingredients : -

Sabudana (Jevvarasi) - 2 big cups
Peanuts - 1/2 cup
Potatoes - 2 Boiled and cut into cubes
Jeera - 2 tsp
Green chillies - 6
Oil/Ghee - 1 tbsp
Sugar - 1tsp
Grated coconut for garnish - 1 tbsp
Coriander leaves for garnish
Salt - 2 tsp

Method :-
--Soak sabudana overnight (or 8 hrs) with just enough water [be careful not to add more than the level of sabudhana]
--Just touch the sabudana and see if it is soft.
--Roast peanuts and when cool grind to a powder
--Add salt and peanut powder to sabudana and mix well with your hand [ be careful not to mash the sabudanas, mix well with very little pressure]
--Heat kadai, add oil. Add jeera and when it leaves the smell add green chillies.
--Cut boiled potatoes when it is cold else it will get soggy and mess up the whole thing. I prefer to keep the potatoes in fridge while I am doing all this and cut it when required.
--Add the potatoes. Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the potatoes.
Keep on a high flame for 5 mins and let the potatoes brown a little.
--When done reduce flame and add the sabudana.
--Stir well , cover and cook for 5 mins.
--If it is too hard.. add 1 tblsp water
--Now add 1 tsp sugar and keep stirring until they turn transparent ( will take a few mins). Dont leave it on the flame, sabudana with stick to the kadai very fast.

When done swtich off and add coriander leaves and fresh coconut.
Sabudana is good for health and so is peanut (Fibre).

Thankyou and Enjoy.

hi,
this is a wonderful thread. i'm in need of a lot of these no onion no garlic recipes too.
herez how i make capsicum curry.

Ingrdients
capsicum 500 gms
salt, chilli powder to taste
gram flour (besan) 3TSP
oil for seasoning
mustard, urad dhal, hing (perungayam) for seasoning

Method
1. cut capsicum into small cubes and cover cook with some salt in the microwave till done. (this will reduce oil consumption)
2. meanwhile, add oil in a pan allow mustard seeds to splutter and then add urad dhal and hing then add capsicums.
3. wen capsicum is almost done, add chilli powder and gram flour. the more the gram flour u add, the more the oil it will consume, and the more tastier it will b.
4. keep frying till the raw smell of gram flour is gone.
5. it goes well with chappathi and also with rice.

Note : make sure u only add chilli powder for all curries at the end so that the absorption of oil by the powder can b minimised.

[Mini]

A lot of south indian recipes are no onion no garlic recipes. I know karnataka, andhra, kerala, maharashtra and of course north indian cooking well. Among this i know karnataka has a lot of these no onion no garlic recipes compared to any of these.
I can say my mom used to use onion garlic may be once a week or so...kerala(in laws) uses either onion or garlic or both in most of their recipes and same with andhra(granny house) and maharashtra(influence from my dads side) has onion in majority recipes and garlic in some) No idea about tamil nadu cooking though.
no offence to anybody..these are just what i have seen..

[Minni]

napolims445,

Telugu/andhra vegetarian cuisine is almost devoid of tomato(a relatively new veggie as per previous generations) and mostly devoid of onion and garlic. When I visit my grandparent's remote village where people still follow such strict deitary regimen.
I do not know relatively how big the cuisine is in comparison to karnataka's, but my limited conversations with aging grandmother gave me the impression that every vegetable can be cooked without the aid of onion/garlic/tomato. And people for centuries lived on such a diet. So it should be vast.
I shall post authentic vegetarian andhra recipes devoid onion and garlic.

Thanks,
Minni

[napolims445]

i'm talking only about vegetarian food here....
I know that every dish can be prepared without onion garlic. But imagine chole or pav bhaji or gutti vankayi without onion /garlic..it would just not be tasty at all without those though u can cook them without onion and garlic.
in karnataka recipes..literally we do not use onion/ garlic for most of the daily cooking recipes and this has been like this for generations and not that someone started to omit them and then that got followed. Its just their way of cooking. i can say the percentages are like 90-95% recipes with no onion/garlic. but i do not have any idea about the coastal karnataka's day to day cooking. coconut is for sure in their dishes.The andhra cooking i have been having are like 60% with onion/garlic and 40% without them..

Same with kerala, maharashtra and north indian dishes...u can omit onion/garlic but they will never taste the same and may be they are supposed to be cooked that way for their taste.

NO OFFENCE TO ANYBODY..

[rajsand]

Hey .. maybe we can get to know some authentic recipes without onion and garlic.
This is what we need.. the best of recipes from across the country..and moreover pavbhaji and bhel etc. would not taste as good as it would with onion/garlic but its not targeted at the not-so-good recipes..
We are here to share the tried and best recipes ..

I will punch in something good soon.

Thankyou Minni, napolims ..

napolims445,

I am talking about andhra traditional vegetarian cusine. As Kalidasu-Bhavabhuti kadha says...I am "padaharu anala teluginti aadapaduchu" - translates to-- I am an authentic andhrite family born and brought up daughter, reasonably well versed with customs, tradition and cuisine.

I am not sure how you make your gutti vankaya...but the traditional cooking that I know and make... does not involve any onion or garlic. I can vouch for this as I know many other vegetarian families other than mine.
Chole and Pav bhaji are not of andhrite origin to compare them to andhra's vegetarian cuisine.
Okay, in my previous posting you seem to have got an impression that the vegetarians omit onion and garlic...but thats not the case..the cuisine by itself does not involve using onion and garlic in its mainstream cooking..just the way you described about karnataka. And the recipes taste just the way they are supposed to! Oh man! I am surprised not many are familiar with andhra's cuisine. Its a shame on me if I do not share my knowledge in this field and help archive some of it.


I can post couple different varieties of the recipe here. But I now feel a new thread on Andhra cuisine is more appropriate to post.

I know you don't intend to offend. We are all here to share our knowledge and heritage on this wide platform...so you do not need to mention it!

Hi Friends

Three and half years back i changed my diet from non-veg to no onion no garlic veg diet. When I decided to do that i was not sure how am i going to cook but with experience and some trial and error today i can make all dishes. Only trick which I learnt is take any recipe and remove onion garlic and add ginger instead....

The dishes i used to cook with onion garlic tasted better to me without it, i felt onion garlic loses the original taste of vegetable..

I know south indian food has got a big variety of dishes which are cooked without onion garlic and it will great if our friends can share there recipes with us ..i am looking for these recipes .. if anybody wants to know more about my experience u r most welcome to ask..

love to all
