Kondakadalai Kathirikai Kaara Kuzhambu/Black Channa and Brinjal in Spicy Tangy Gravy

This is a very popular spicy and tangy kuzhambhu with lentils and other spices which popular in our households.Today I made it with brinjal/eggplant and black channa.It goes very well with rice and doesn't need any special side dish,papad is the best combo.This kuzhambu tastes even better the next day and can be stored in the refrigerator for two days.Here is the recipe.....

Ingredients

IngredientQuantity
BlackChanna(kondakadalai/soaked/cooked)3/4cup
Onion(chopped)2nos(medium size)
Garlic10-15 cloves
Tomato2nos.(medium size)
Brinjal(small,round)3nos.
Sambhar powder1tsp
Chilly powder1/2tsp
Coriander powder1tsp
Turmeric powder1/2tsp
Coconut paste4tbs
Tamarind paste1tbs diluted with 1 cup of water
Sesame oil2tbs
Saltto taste

For the seasoning

IngredientQuantity
Kuzhambu vadagam11/2tsp
Curry leaves1sprig


Method


                   Keep a pan with oil in a medium flame and fry the vadagam and curry leaves then add the onion,saute it for a minute follows the garlic.Fry it till both onion and garlic get slightly transparent.Add the tomato,salt and cook it soft.
Add the brinjals and fry it for a minute then add all the powders and give it a mix.Now add the tamarind water and allow to cook till the raw smell goes away.
Once it becomes thick add the coconut paste and cook it for 2-3 minutes and finally add the cooked black channa and cook it for one boil.
Spicy and tangy kara kuzhambu is ready.
  • Kuzhambu vadagam can be substituted with a tsp of mustard seeds and1/4tsp of fenugreek seeds.
  • Instead of sambhar powder 1/2tsp of chilly powder and 1/2tsp of coriander powder can be used.But adding sambhar powder gives a nice flavor and taste to the kuzhambu.
  • Adding coconut paste is important,it balances the spicy and sour taste of the spices used.

Rava Kozhukattai/Rava Pidi kozhukattai

For the alphabet R,I decided to make something with rava aka semolina.But I have blogged most of the  rava recipes  in Tamil cuisine. When I was going through the cook books and hand written recipes,rava kozhukattai caught my attention. The method of making this kozhukattai is same as  upma kozhukattai ,whereas rava/semolina is used instead of rice.Both sweet and savory versions can be made with semolina.As we had lot of sweet dishes in the previous week I made the savory version.Soon share the sweet version.This is a great option for evening snack and I served with coconut chutney.Lets move on to the  recipe............                                                                                          ...

This dosa can be called as vegetarian omlette as the taste resembles egg omlette.This dosa can be spread into a thin crepe or like uthappam/pancake.Either way it tastes good. The dhal gets soaked in less than an hour,once the batter is ready the dosa can be made.Grated veggies or some greens can be added to make it more healthy.
