How to make
Mixed Vegetable Poricha Kuzhambu is made with a blend of vegetables and green gram dhal. To prepare it, first, cook green gram dhal with turmeric and oil until soft. In a separate pot, cook assorted vegetables like chow chow, green brinjal, broad beans, and capsicum. Add water, sambar powder, turmeric, and salt. Cook until the vegetables are tender. Combine the cooked dhal with the vegetables and bring to a boil. Next, create a smooth paste using coconut, green chili, rice flour, and cumin seeds. Add water to achieve a liquid consistency. Stir this paste into the vegetable mixture. Finally, season the dish with mustard seeds, chopped onions, and curry leaves for added flavor. Enjoy this nutritious and aromatic curry with rice or roti!
Is this a side dish or can be used like a main course?
Hi Ananya,
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.
