Hey,
I bought a BIG bunch of vallarai keerai y'day...couldn't find a smaller bunch... I make only chutney out of it... Any other recipes using vallarai pls...
yeah... I slit it into 2 before cooking... I guess it's to fasten the cooking process & maybe to get a better taste & aroma of the sundakkai in whatever dish that u make...Quote:

ennai yil vadhakkiya pirangu ....
ulumtham paruppu ... molaga vathal... perungayam vechu .... thogaiyal pannalaam dev ......
infact vallarai keerai moooolaikku nalladhu
ya .... tis important to keep sundakkai immersed in water ..... also instead of slitting it one by one ... u can even choose to spread it in a plate and hit it to break it open with some object ....... this will reduce time ! wat say dev ?
yeah... but I like to slit it, though it takes time...especially if it is pinju sundakkai...Quote:

20-25 vallarai leaves. No stem pls. 6/7 pearl onions, 1 piece garlic, 2 tbsp coconut, 1 small ball of tamarind.
Dry fry 1 tbsp of thuvar dhal & 1 or 2 dry chillies until reddish. Grind the above & the fried stuffs with salt to a bit coarse paste. Goes well with dosai, white rice & most of the variety rice...I like it with chapathis too...
thanks for the recipe dev :)
Most welcome, Anou...
BG, just called up mom & she told me that we can use vallarai keerai in paruppu... like we make methi dhal etc... have u ever tried this?...
