Ingredients
Mixed vegetable cut into small pieces – 2 cups
(Chow chow, green brinjal, broad beans, capsicum)
Green Gram Dhal – ½ cup
Coconut gratings – 2 tablespoons
Jeera – ½ teaspoon
Green chilli – 1
Rice flour – 1 teaspoon
Sambar powder – 1 teaspoon heaped
Turmeric powder – a pinch
Salt – 1 teaspoon
Oil – 1 teaspoon
Mustard – ½ teaspoon
2 small onion chopped finely
Curry leaves – few
Directions
Cook green gram dhal in open vessel along with a pinch of turmeric powder and a teaspoon of oil till soft.
Put the vegetable in a vessel and add just enough water to cover the vegetable. Add sambar powder, turmeric and salt and cook till the vegetables are soft. Add the cooked dhal. Allow to boil.
Grind coconut, green chilli, rice flour and jeera to a fine paste. Wash the mixie and add that water also to the paste and make it liquid. Add this to the vegetable and mix well. Allow to boil.
Season it with mustard, chopped onion and curry leaves.
It is a main dish like sambar etc. We can mix with rice and eat. When we prepare poricha kuzhambu, some hot curry like potato fry or yam fry will go well with it. Ofcourse simple appalam or koozhvadam is perfect match for this kuzhambu. Also we can have it as side dish for Vatha kuzhambu or any hot kuzhambu.
Is this a side dish or can be used like a main course?
