I fondly remember eating steamed 'Kaachil' with a dash of fish curry or 'greenchilli-red onion paste in coconut oil' washed down with some good old home ground black coffee.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7795920124734881705.post-40282803164399057502008-09-11T22:13:00.000+05:302008-09-11T22:13:00.000+05:30mysorean, thanks for the lead.

I don't know whether their medicinal value is any less.<BR/><BR/>I don't think that organic farming is a fad. There are organic formulations for pest control. It is not commercially very viable. But we use organically grown vegetables and fruits for the table at home to the extent possible.<BR/><BR/>Today I have posted a piece about Onam. Please have a look at it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13391953993560698130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7795920124734881705.post-68651470323726259972008-09-11T22:02:00.000+05:302008-09-11T22:02:00.000+05:30Raji you are right.

It is a bit out of focus and that really augments its appeal.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13391953993560698130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7795920124734881705.post-48638511360091776142008-09-10T20:15:00.000+05:302008-09-10T20:15:00.000+05:30There is a good feature article on Onam in 10th S...There is a good feature article on Onam in 10th Sept Star of Mysore.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7795920124734881705.post-35418316849118914182008-09-10T02:04:00.000+05:302008-09-10T02:04:00.000+05:30You have not said how these vegetables are used.

The process was messy and time consuming. In Mysore a horticulturist suggested some changes and our coconut yield in our garden in Mysore doubled. Even with that I find organic growing a fad. There are really some pests which can kill plants and trees.<BR/><BR/>I would have liked your piece about Onam instead of these vegetable photographs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7795920124734881705.post-38124708239606017022008-09-09T17:55:00.000+05:302008-09-09T17:55:00.000+05:30What a nice feeling I got when I saw the pictures....What a nice feeling I got when I saw the pictures. The first one looks as delightful as a painting. And the idea of organically grown is more and more inviting.RAJI MUTHUKRISHNANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09767924355822361427noreply@blogger.com
