🌿 Avarakkai Poricha Kuzhambu🌿

Описание: This can be made with any vegetables like Pumpkins, chow chow, Brinjal, mixed veggies. Legumes like karamani can also be used along with veggies. And also instead of Coconuts in this, if it’s not available coconut milk can be replaced. Also, instead of black urad dal in this recipe use regular one.

Ingredients:
Avarakkai- 1 cup
Moong dal-4 tablespoon
Tamarind- gooseberry size
Water-2 cups
Turmeric-1/2 tsp
Salt- as needed
Asafetida-3/4 tsp
Coconut oil-1 tbsp
Mustard-1/2 tsp
Curry leaves- a sprig

Fry & grind:
Black Urad dal-4 tbsp
Red chilies-1&1/2 (increase it to your needs)
Pepper corns-3/4 tsp
Cumin-1 tsp
Grated coconut-1/4 cup

Steps:
1. Soak tamarind in luke warm water. And in a vessel add broad beans and moong dal, add turmeric powder and add water as shown in the video. Add the vessel to the instant pot close the lid and seal it. And then set the pressure cooking mode on high for 1 minute. And release manually in 5-8 mins time. If you are using pressure cooker, before the whistle comes turn off the stove. This can be done in microwave and steam cook too.
2. Prepare the fry and grind items. I have added less chilies based on my right now spice level. Please increase according to your taste. Allow it to cool down and grind them to a consistency it’s not too smooth as well coarse.
3. In a pan add oil, tempering ingredients, and the veggie and lentil. Add asafetida and salt. Close the lid and cook for further 5 mins. Then add tamarind water and cover it with lid and cook for 8 mins. Then add the grounded mixture. And don’t boil much as due to coconuts in it. If you feel the consistency is not yet thick, add 1 tablespoon of rice flour to water & make it as thick paste, and add it to the kuzhambu.

Serve this hot with rice and ghee. This is a very easing and gut friendly comforting dish, to consume, especially during winter season.
