[Madhu Sree]

This is not something new, am sure many of you are expert in this.
I learnt this one from my mom in law few days before only lol and it was so delicious that I couldnt resist myself from sharing this
Main thing which I liked about this is no kas kas, no coconut milk and no masala except cinnamon stick.

Korma - simple and delicious:

Some vegetable apt for korma - required quantity (I made with 2 big potatoes)
Peas - 1 cup
Tomato - 2
Cinnamon stick - 1 inch.
Chilli powder - 1.5 tbsp
Coriander powder - 1.5 tbsp.
Turmeric powder - a pinch
Salt - as required.
Coriander leaves

To Grind 1:

Onion - 2 big ones
Green chilles - 4
Garlic pods - 10 (Smashed)
Ginger - 1 inch (Smashed)

To Grind 2:
Cocunut - 1 cup

Method:

First fry the items in 'To Grind 1' and grind it.
Then, in a cooker heat oil, add cinnamon stick.
Add chopped potatoes(or whtever veggies available), chopped tomatoes, peas, fry for a minute.
Then, add salt, turmeric powder, Chilli powder, coriander powder, the ground paste, mix well.
Next pour enough water till the veggies are submerged in water(Check for salt n spice, if required add more).
Close the cooker and keep it for like 4 whistles. Switch it off, let the steam settle down.
Grind coconut into fine paste. Open the cooker and add the coconut paste, coriander leaves, mix well.
Keep the full content in medium heat for 2 to 3 mins and switch it off. Enjoy with roti or ghee rice.

i visited one tamil aunty on monday evening and background jaya tv arusuvai idhu thani suvai was going on. so i half heard this recipe as that aunty was talking. could not find tat program online. but i tried her asathal aviyal (thats the name) it came out tasty.

Asathal Aviyal (revathy shanmugam)

TIPS Given by her

boil veges like vazhakai yam potatoes seperately which will discolor, for better color of aviyal.

do not add curd at all for aviyal, if one likes add while serving on the plate. soaking the entire aviyal in curd will not taste good.

she told brinjal also tastes good but need to be boiled separately. poosani and guvar beans are must.



Ingrediants:

600 gms vegetables cut length wise ( poosani, potatoes, carrot, guvar beans, vazhakai, beans,chow chow,drumsticks,yam, etc)

paste:

coconut 1 cup,4 green chilles ,3 red chilles 1 tsp jeera, 6 small onions, cashew nuts - 2 table spoon

grind the above with minimum water.

boil the veges as per the tips then add the paste boil for another 5mins.

just before taking of the stove add 2 tsp coconut oil and chopped curry leaves.
