Kathirikkai Murungakkai Pirattal/Brinjal and Drumstick Curry


In summer we get lot of drumsticks and raw mango,ripen mango and the house will be filled with the aroma of dishes with these veggies.As we have both the trees in our garden back in India,my mom makes drumstick and mango sambhar or this pirattal often in season.
Pirattal is kind of curry can be made with or without coconut paste which goes very well with rasam and curd rice or it can be mixed with the white rice.Either way it tastes good,back in India its a seasonal veggie but here in US its available throughout the year in the frozen aisle.Here fresh drumstick is a rare vegetable and its very expensive in season itself,so always use the frozen one.But nothing beats the flavor and the taste of fresh drumstick.Here is the recipe................................


Ingredients

IngredientQuantity
Small round brinjal(Sliced lengthwise)5-6nos.
Drumstick/murungaikkai(2 inch pieces)15-17nos.
Onion(finely chopped)2nos.(medium size)
Tomato(finely chopped)1no.(large size)
Garlic/poondu(thinly sliced) 6-7cloves

Sambhar powder		2tsp
Red chilly powder/milagai podi1/2tsp
Coriander leaves(chopped)2tbs

Pirattal is ready.
Enjoy....................................................................
  • If you want to use coconut pate add it along with the sambhar powder,just 2 tbs of the paste would be enough for this given amount.
  • Add 2 tsp of oil if the curry is dry and gets stick to the pan.
  • If frozen drumsticks are used then half cook it in the microwave or boiling water with a pinch of salt.

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............                                                                                          ...
