Murungaikkai Thakkali Kulambhu/Drumstick in Tomato Gravy



I have already posted a version of Thakkali/Tomato Kulambhu,but today's version is slightly different with drumstick and the freshly ground masala.
I often make the same type of kulambhu for week end lunch,so I thought of making a variation,when I looked my recipe collections,this one attracted me.
I tried it for first time and everybody liked it,but hubby dear wanted to be a bit spicier version.So increase or decrease the spice according to your family preference.We had it along with beans poriyal,rice and pappad for a comforting weekend lunch.Off to the recipe....................

Vegetable Biriyani - Pressure Cooker Method

Coming to day 3 of Blogging Marathon#62 under the theme quick dishes I am sharing a one pot meal.This biriyani can be made in 30 minutes if the veggies are chopped and kept or even frozen veggies can also be used. As I have the habit of chopping veggies for the next day cooking this takes only 20-25 minutes of cooking.Also I use the boiling hot water to cook the rice faster.When the rice is cooking in the pressure cooker you can make either a simple raita or an egg omelette to pair up with this biriyani.                                                                                                                                  ...
