Tender Bamboo shoot - Kanile in Kannada is widely available during rainy season. Some small boys were selling them on NH 48 (Mangalore - Bangalore). We have purchased two pieces for Rs 30 each.
It has got some different kind of taste & flavour , may not be liked by everyone. Even me didn't like the taste much. Since my hubby darling like them very much, thought of giving a try. Cooking the bamboo shoot involves much cleaning process. Initially remove the cover layer of tender bamboo shoots & cut into small piece.( Use only tender part of bamboo shoot). soak them in water with little turmeric powder for 3 days. Change water twice a day. After 3 days of soaking, rinse bamboo shoots with fresh water & now its ready for cooking purpose.
This is first time I have prepared some thing from tender bamboo shoot. Initially I have used chopped bamboo shoots which are soaked for one day, which tasted bitter. Later I have used bamboo shoots which are soaked for 3 day, which has got perfect taste.
I have tried pickle & palya. You can prepare many recipes using tender bamboo shoots. Like Sambar , Dosa ,kottige (Another south canara breakfast recipe where any vegetable grinded with rice & cooked in banana leaf). You can even try bajjis or even manchurian !!!
Here goes the recipe for tender bamboo shoot pickle
