I found your site accidentally while trying to find an answer to a curry leaf question I had - amazing information, beautiful format and engaging prose. Your “Indian Vegetable” section is tops and has me seeking out seeds to plant this summer. Thanks for your fantastic effort!

There is a tradition of Bommala Koluvu (doll decoration) for Sankranthi. Instead of dolls, I have decided to decorate the chestnuts with various ingredients this season.:) Thanks for your nice notes on my chestnut experiments.

Padmaja, I am seriously thinking of preparing chestnut pongal for Sankranthi.:)

Another brilliant recipe from you…It seems ‘KaadEdi guggiLLaku anarham’. Great idea to eat nutritious beans, lentils and now the chestnut in the form of guggiLLu.

Indira,

This is a great recipe. We make chestnut pulao every year at Christmas using chestnuts similar to the ones you purchased. Adding dried cranberries instead of raisins, along with green peas gives the pulao nice festive color also. We usually buy the chestnuts in a jar, at either local grocery or TJ’s.

My my, they look sooo gorgeous. I have never seen a chestnut. Will have to hunt some exotic market in Delhi to take a look at that stuff. I am sure they tasted good.
