Sharfal Sukke..

Recipe....

Sharfal means gunda.its like small fruit. Gujarati people make pickle with this along with raw mango..

But our  make sukke or talasani with this.This is my Traditional Dish..My granny 

,mummy used to make this.

this vegetable is available only in may,June..like mango.

To make subji with this is very time consuming.

Take 750 gms of Sharfal..

It is very sticky from inside.we have to remove seeds which r sticky.then chop it.. 

keep it in imli & salt water.every time we have to dip our hands in this water as hands 

become very sticky.

Then make half n make 2 pieces of each side.keep itbin salt n Imli water.. then remove n 

keep it in strainer..

Then Grind Fresh grated Coconut, 1 cup with Fried Methi seeds 1/4 tsp n  8 to 10 Whole 

Red Chillies together... I Use Kashmiri Chillies., Small ball of Imli, n Haldi.

 Then make Tadka with 4 to 5 tabsps of oil.. make tadka with rai, Hing then add chopped 

Sharfal in it.. stir ffor few minutes.. keep lid for some time on low flame.

Then add ground coconut masala in it..add salt n gud as per tasteadd some water..n cover

 it n cook it till it gets soft..

Then remove the cover... we have to keep it on low flame for at least 2..3 hours.it will 

become dry  but as it takes time to go stickiness ..atleast 2 hours we need to get it ready 

flame shud be very low..

But once sukke is ready ..It tastes yummy..I like to take all this trouble for this tasty dish..

This Sukke Tastes yummy with Chapati or Dal Rice...
