Dhoddpatre Thambuli

>> November 30, 2009

Thambuli is a type of raita. You can have this with plain hot rice. Dhoddpatre is a kannada word for a special green leaf vegetable. Its very good for health and it is used in aayurvedic medicine. This leaf also can be home grown. There are only a few types of veggies that can be used specially for this dish. This special green leaves (Dhoddpatre) can be used only in this type of dish. I do not know of any other dish which is made using this veggie.

In English it is called Coleus Amboinicus (acc to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plectranthus_amboinicus)



Ingredients
  • Dhoddpatre leaves - 4 or 6
  • Molag / Menasu /Black Pepper - 6
  • Jeera / Cumin seeds - 1/2 tsp
  • Grated Coconut - 4 tsp
  • Curds / Yogurt - 1 or 2 cups
Method
  • Wash the leaves.
  • Roast the leaves. Do not roast too much just for 2 minutes so that raw smells goes
  • Roast jeera, pepper
  • Grind the roasted leaves and spices along with coconut and little bit of water make into a smooth paste
  • Add curds and salt to taste
  • Serve with hot rice

Mala, I love this too. Unfortunately, I don't have the plant here in U.S to make. I loved the Blog headline that is so true.

I have this plant in my backyard. I often trim them else to avoid it invading the whole of my backyard. I usually use it while preparing kashayam for cold.

Thanks a ton for this recipe. I simply loved the ingredients that went into this.
