Drumstick leaves Curry :: Murungai keerai kulambu

Heat a tsp oil. Add a heaped tbsp of toor dhal & 4-5 red chillies. Once the dhal starts becoming golden add 1 tbsp cori. seeds 1 tsp jeera & 1/4 tsp peppercorns. Fry till flavourful. Switch off flame & add a big pinch of asafoetida & 1/3rd coconut grated,1/4 tsp turmeric pwd, req salt. Mix well & once cool, hgrind it to a smooth paste.

Roughly crush 15-20 pearl onions & 2 garlic pods & add to the ground mixture.

Heat 1/2 tsp oil. Splutter mustard & 2 dry chillies.

Add the ground mixture , a big bowl of cleaned drumstick leaves & 1/2 ltr water(qty here is approximate. Use your judgement). Let it come to a boil. Check for taste & add more salt,chilly pwd if req.

Let boil for 3 mins until the raw flavour of masalas are gone & the curry becomes flavourful. Don't let it boil for too long. just around 3-4 mins would do. Done. This curry should be watery. Just a tad thicker than paruppu rasam is what we r looking for.

Serve with rice.:slurp:

thank u for the recipes!

:-)

dev....murungai keerai kuzhambu ku...no tamarind or tomatoes???? romba vithyaasamaa irukey?...will try it out...:-)

Dev, thanks for the drumstick keerai curry.
I will surely try it.


Dev, if you would like to try the egg jam,
with all the ingredients add another cup
of coconut milk. put everything in a wok.
On low flame keep on stirring till the liquid
becomes thick like jam. It will take about 20
minutes or so. Try and see.
Thanks Kugan98

Selviem I believe you are asking for the chicken chalna.
If it is so, I will post the recipe soon.
Maduraiyil saapitta ngabagam.
Thanks Kugan98

Suvai nga when you make kezhvaragu kali,
you shape them into balls and keep.
When you have left overs you immerse the
balls in water and keep over night.

The next day you use the kezhvaragu balls
mix with mooru and make kezhvaragu koozh.
Thanks. Kugan98
