Dear Sudha, very sorry to hear about your in- law.
Do not worry about the recipe. I was just kidding.
Family comes first, I know how busy you will be.
Take care Sudha. Kugan

Here is one recipe which my mom use to prepare and it is my favourite.
I really dont know how my mom prepares, but this how I prepare and yes it tasted the same and looked the same as my mom's recipe.
I use to prepare this on the day when I dont like/want to have onion or garlic.

Simple Keerai poricha kozhambu:

Spinach - 1 bunch
Toor dal - I guess 4 tbsp. (3/4th handful seriously this is how I measure )
Channa dal - 1.5 tbsp
Redchilli - 4
Coconut shreds - 1 tbsp(optional)
Turmeric - as required.
Salt - as required.
Oil - as required.


Tempering:


Panch puran seeds - 2 tsp or mustard seeds, jeera - 1/2 tsp
urad dal - 1.2 tsp

Method:

Fry channadal and red chille in oil and keep it aside to cool town.
In a wok, add toor dal and required water, cook till toor dal is mashable. Add turmeric powder, salt, spinach, mix it well. Let is cook for about 15 mins.
Now grind channa dal + red chillies +coconut shreds and add the powder to the spinach mixture.
Add a pinch of asofotida/perungaayam, tempered Panch puran seeds or mustard, jeera and urad dal. Mix well. Leave for about 2 mins.

Thats it. Keerai poricha kozhambu is ready. Enjoy as a main dish or a side for thengaai thuvayal rice.

Thanks,

Madhu Sree

paanch puran seeds-na enna ? அஞ்சு பூரான் விதையா ? கேள்விபட்டதே இல்லையே !

இதுக்கு விளக்கம் அளித்து விட்டால் செஞ்சு பார்க்க சௌகரியப்படும்.

It is like a mix of 5 different seeds... check here, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panch_phoron

Hi Kugan akka & co

When making Briyani, does it have to be "Oily"?? I have a veg briyani in a restaurant once a week for lunch, it tastes so nice, but I think they use lot of ghee, is ghee a must in such dishes ?

[uwitiusoj]

Hello everyone its taking a lot time for me to recover this time. Thank you K and PS Thamby for the tips I am following everything and they did help me.

lack of appetite is still there, which is very strange. I always eat with full interest.

[uwitiusoj]

K thakkali thokku looks easy and yummy.

Madhu Shree can the keerai procha kulambu be done with Drumstick leaves?

PS Thamby I have experienced it twice once when I did Biryani at friends' place by mistake I added a lot of oil poured oil without control, did not remove the excess oils as we were in hurry. THe biryani turned out excellent like the hotel ones. Everyone wished for more portion. And once in a hotel i did not have oil so made it with full ghee the biryani was also very tasty. made it with camping stove. So more oil definitely tasty with my exp. I dont know for sure as I am not expert
