A Traditional Christmas Menu

[Rakhi]

To make kudal curry,here is one recipe my mother uses,though haven't tried it myself.

1.wash and clean thoroughly the meat.
2.pressure cook with salt,turmeric till done.
3.when cooled enough,cut into very small square pieces.
4.take 2 raw plantains,cut into square pieces also,and boil with the meat till done.
5.suate onions,ginger,garlic,chillies,curryy leaves in a pan.add lots of crushed fresh pepper.add meat masala(freshly grounded is preferable)add little water and suate well.
6.add this to the meat and sim on low heat till mixture is dry.
7.add 1tsp coconut milk and a drop of vinegarand mix well.serve hot.

Dear Rakhi,

The items on the traditional Xmas menu-would it be the same for Easter as well, except the Pesaha appam I suppose?

Would like to hear your thoughts on this, thanks!
