    tharikanji with milk

    Dear Shahana and Seethalakshmi,

    Have you tried this kanji with milk instead of coconut milk?? Even that comes out well and tastes really nice.

    Paal Molee

    Hi ,

    Here is one vegetable curry which my mother used to make at home. It should be from the northern part of Kerala.

    Ingredients:
    Potato - 2 cut into small cubes,
    Carrots - 1 medium sized, cut into small pieces
    Beans - 5-6 cut into 1" pieces
    snake gourd- 1/2 of a small one, cut into 1"pieces
    Green peas (Optional) - 1/2 cup
    Cauliflower - 3-4 flowerettes
    Green chillies - 3 slit
    Small onions - 1/2 cup peeled,
    Coconut milk - 1cup thick milk and 2 cups thin milk
    Chilli powder - 1 tsp
    Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp
    salt to taste
    curry leaves
    coconut oil - 1 tbsp

    Method :
    Mix turmeric powder and chilli powder in a little water and keep aside.
    Heat coconut oil in a pan. Add chilli powder and turmeric powder mixed in water to the oil .When the nice aroma comes, add the small onions and green chillies. Saute for a minute or two. Add the other vegetables and saute.
    When they are coated with oil add the second milk and salt to taste.
    Cook till the vegetables are cooked.
    Simmer the fire , add the first milk and cook till it reaches the boiling point.
    Remove and garnish with curry leaves and Serve.

    Try it and tell me how you like this,
    Latha

    Thank you for your kaima ari explanation.Angane Aiyirikkam.
    The rava kanji with milk is ordinary recipe easy way to prepare.Sometimes it is consumed whenever light meal required.
