I learnt this yummy recipe from my MIL , whose native is Rettaiyoorani , a small village in Rameswaram District . My hubby's aunt stays there . The village have lots of Palm Trees , sea shore is just 4 km from their house . This place has more Oorani (a small pond )-- gets water naturally from the ground .
INGREDIENTS :
Sundaikkai vathal --- 1 cup
Onion - 1 cup(pearl onions)
Coconut - 3 pieces
Tomato - 2 small
Jeera - 2 tsp
Mustard - 1 tsp
Garlic cloves --3
Salt to taste
Curry leaves
Tamarind -- a big lemon size
Kulambu milagai powder - 2 tsp
Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp
Jaggery ( optional) - small piece
To grind :
Tomato - 1
Onion - 1 or 2
Jeera - 1 tsp
Coconut
METHOD OF PREPARATION :
1) Heat oil in a pan . Once hot, add jeera, mustard .When it splutters , add chopped onion,curry leaves and saute till transparent .
2) Add chopped tomato,garlic, spice powders and saute till it form a thick gravy .
3) Wash sundakkai vathal and then add to the mixture and saute for 5 minutes till the raw smell leaves.
4) Then add the grinded masala , tamarind extract , salt. Lower the flame,cover with a lid and cook till the oil oozes out. Add jaggery powdered 5 minutes before removing from the flame. It will thicken the Kulambhu consistency and add flavour.
Serve hot with rice .Sending this to Grammathu Kaimanam hosted by me .
