Hi K, thanks for the tip. Next time when I go to SL i need to carry chinna vengaayam and all vatrals back with me. For the mochai curry, can we use powders of the spices instead of grinding them fresh and then grind the shallots and coconut and mix with the powder?

Rose, do you know that we are not allowed to hunt puli in Malaysia?
How can I make puli curry for you.?

Rose do not worry, the are many ways to do this simple curry.
I think I have posted the recipe before.
Anyway I will post again for you, with brinjal and mango

We do not get fresh motchai in Malaysia.
Only the dry version. Even in India now is the season for it.

Rose we have a kaara podi recipe.
I will post it soon for you.

Roshan, no problem you can use powders if you have.
The dry motchai too will taste good.
Just soak it over night and boil it till it is cooked.
Take care, Kugan98

No problem Dev, tomorrow is fresh motchai rice in our house.

I came home with so many recipes and tips from a super cook.
Now I do not have any suru suruppu in my body.
Very strict pathiyam, not payithiyam

So I do not have the thembu to cook.
Anyway life has to go on.
Thanks and take care, Kugan98

Rose, here is a very simple method to do the puli kulambu.

PULI KULAMBU

Ingredients:

1 lemon sized tamarind extract the juice (this forms the gravy)
4 pieces garlic
10 small onions
2 green chillies slit
¼ tsp tumeric powder (
2 tsp chillie powder ( add little water to the three powders to make
2 tsp coriander powder ( into paste
½ tsp fenugreek seeds
1 tsp mustard seeds
1 tsp urad dal
2 dry red chillies broken
A pinch of hing
Curry leaves
Oil if possible gingelly oil
Salt to taste

Method:
Heat a pot. ( I have clay pot for this )
Add about 2 tbs of oil. Add the mustard seeds, urad dal
And fenugreek seeds.
Now add the onions, garlic, red chillie and curry leaves.
After the onions turn golden, add in the paste.
Fry all items in oil till the raw smell goes.
add in , tamarind juice and the
Slit green chillies. Add salt and hing powder.
Cook it on a slow heat. Once the kolambu is little thick,
Remove and serve with steaming white rice.

Note: you can add any one vege of your choice and call it that puli kulambu.

Rose, add in the cut brinjals when the onions turn golden.
stir well nicely and continue the rest of the recipe.
Add in the mango pieces when the curry is boiling.
Less the tamarind if your mangoes are very sour.
