GUEST CHEF WORKSHOP - 4


By Dr. R Sudarshan

PUMPKIN TENDER SHOOT CURRY (ಕುಂಬಳ ಕುಡಿ ಪಲ್ಯ)

5 PM on Saturday, 30 April 2022, Venue: Farmer's House

The pumpkin plant is a phyto capitalist. It aggressively goes about collecting nutrition from the soil, produces large leaves to ingest sunlight, climbs whatever prop it finds, spreads out widely on the farm floor, gives out tender tendril shoots that race in all directions, and finally bears fruits that are as large as dinosaur eggs. The plant is a great nutrient grabber from the soil and an impressive nutrition investor in its leaves, shoots, and fruits.

Neena Kaveriappa from Coorg (Kodagu) has spent 3 decades in Mysore. With a home science education and an embedded cultural diversity of Kodagu and Mysore in her, she combines the culinary skills of different lifestyles and makes delicacies out of what's very nutritious, but is not the mainstream food of many. This week, pumpkin plants are shooting out all over the Padma Farms. And Neena Kaveriappa is able to take time off for the community.

On Saturday evening, Neena will show us how to make pumpkin tendril shoot curry. In Nepal, it is 'Farsi ko munta'. In Bengal, it is 'Kumro danta charchari'. In Thailand, it is just 'pumpkin shoot stir fry'. In Mysore now - ಕುಂಬಳ ಕುಡಿ ಪಲ್ಯ.

Each registrant at the Workshop will get to eat the pumpkin tender shoot curry with a pair of organic rotis. The material cost fee of Rs 200/- per person applies.

THE LIFE SUSTAINING HOLLOW HEARTS OF PAPAYA

By Dr R Sudarshan A tall papaya tree bit the dust when the night rider wild pigs dug into its base to steal it's succulent roots. And a curious little boy visitor to the farm chopped and sliced it to feel the power of an axe. We then rediscovered a string of hollow chambers in the stem that we had long forgotten after the college days. The pith cavities are the multiple hearts of the papaya vascularity. Raising water and nutrition from ground to sky, holding them in steps to strengthen the tall growing stem and gradually filling those fruits with the pulp and nectar, the hollowness is the substance of this existence. A plant is a wondrous source of symmetry, geometry, science, technology and food. And a farm is a relearning device.

COMMUNITY DIALOGUE - 1

By Dr. R Sudarshan EATING CLEAN: COMMUNITY DIALOGUE - 1;  Featured Speaker - Sindhu Ramachandra;  Friday, 15 July 2022 at 5:30 PM E ating clean is a lifestyle fundamental, easily ignored and abused in the fast lane of tongue temptations. And the long convoluted tube that we call 'gut' is often turned into a gutter that is forced to process what it is not meant for - synthetic food, herbicides, pesticides, and life-threatening substances. Sindhu is a biochemist with work experience from IISc. She pursues data science and AI in the context of biochemistry. An ardent believer in organic farming, she cares for clean foods. And she knows how unclean foods can turn your life upside down. Community Dialogues at the Farmer's House are an engagement with reason to restore the dignity of life. Come, listen, interact and benefit. Attendance is FREE. Register with Gagan at 97421 62956. * * * Farmer's House, Silverfish Books, Kutz Bowl and the Farmer's Market, # 1A, 13th Cross,...
