Murungakkaay poricha kootu
_______________________

We generally cook, sambhar or vatha kozhambu or aviyal with murungakkai.

My MIL however makes yummy murungakkkay poricha kootu. (she does it with one veg only)

I tried her same recipe with my own lil variation (with combination veg), and IT HAS TURNED OUT REALLY WONDERFUL.

So try it and tell me

Method:

Drumstick 1 or 2
peerkangai 1/2 kg (can try with other varation like ghiya or chow chow)
green gram half pav
dry coconut or fresh coconut 3 spoons
to season : rai, jeera, asafoetida

________

powder to be ground:

Saute dhania, bengal gram, dry red chilly in 1 spoon oil and grind it with coconut

_________


* cook, green gram, drumstick and peerkangai in cooker.

Important: When done, DO NOT MASH IT, as drumstick would become a pulp

* Heat 1 spoon oil in kadai, make rai and jeera splutter, add the cooked dhaal and veg,

* after 3 mins, add lil water to make it of looser consistency and the ground powder (powder to be dry ground)


* add lil fresh coconut (optional) and hing (asafoetida)

* garnish with curry leaves and switch off the stove

* enjoy with rice or roti

Meal maker - mutter masala

Ingredients:

Meal maker - 20 pieces (approx. 100 gms...)
Water
Big Onion- 3
Tomato - 2
Garlic - 10 pips
Ginger - 1 piece (a rubber size)
Chilli powder
Masala - 1 pinch
Salt to taste
Sunflower oil
Peas - 2 spoon
Curry leaves
coriander
Ground cocunut and chickpeas/chutney dal
or chickpeas powder (To make a thick mixture)

Method:

Add water in a pan, heat it well. Now, remove the pan from fire, add little salt, stir it well and add meal maker, close it with a lid. Keep it aside and leave it for 5 mins.

Chop the onions, fine chop ginger.

Add fine chopped ginger and 5 pips of garlic in mixer and grind it well. Keep it aside.

Now wash the tomatoes, add tomatoes in mixer, grind it and make a puree. Keep it aside.

Heat a pan, add 5 spoon of oil, add mustard seeds, let it splutter.
now put the ginger garlic paste and fry it well till the raw smell is out from the mixture. Now add chopped onions fry it till golden brown, now add the remaining 5 pips of garlic, mutter, chilly powder, salt, mix it well. Add the tomato puree and cook for 1 min.

Take the other pan which contains the meal maker, remove the lid
and juz check whether it is enlarged well. Squeeze the meal maker and put it in mixer grinder. Partly grind it and add it to the mixture in the pan. Now, add juz 1 pinch of masala and mix it well, spice lovers can have 1 more pinch. To make a thick mixture, we should add a mixture of ground cocunut and chick peas with little water or chickpeas powder itself with little water, mix it well and cook for juz 1 - 2 mins. Remove from fire and garnish with curry leaves/coriander.

Meal maker - mutter masala is ready. It tastes juz like vadacurry . Preparation time would be between 20 - 25 mins.

Best to have with idly/roti, or any fried rice/pulao.
