Hi.. Never heard of such a dish. Awaiting for the recipe.

Is that a preparation using bread fruit (kadachakka) that you mean? Though I've never had thrissur sadya, this is the vegetable with which, in our side, they prepare a dish that tastes similar to 'irachi curry'.
Reshmi

No...

Its not with "Kadachakka", with kadachakka either upperi/mezhukku puratti Or Masalacurry we make..

this is something different, seen potaoes, Onion, soya chunks, and some more ingredients , dark brown in color.....

i love that dish.

Regards

hi,
· 0.5 kg potato cut in to thick strips
· 0.5 kg soya meat
· 2 large onions sliced very thin
· 2 large tomatoes chopped fine
· 2 tbsps ginger paste
· 2 tbsps garlic paste
· 2-3 green chillies
· 3 tbsps coriander seeds
· 4 tbsps fennel seeds
· 8 cloves
· Seeds of 6 green cardamom
· 1" stick of cinnamon
· 25 black peppercorns
· For tempering: 1 large onion chopped fine
· 50 curry leaves
· 1 cup fresh coconut cut into 1"- long, thin slivers
· 1 tbsp mustard seeds
· 4 tbsps vegetable/ canola/ sunflower cooking oil
Preparation:
·
·
· Heat a flat pan on a medium flame till hot. Reduce the flame to simmer. Put the fennel, coriander seeds, cloves, peppercorns, cardamom seeds and cinnamon on the pan. Roast, stirring often till the spices begin to get slightly darker and give off their aroma. Turn off fire. Allow to cool slightly.
· Grind the above roasted spices into a coarse powder in a clean, dry coffee grinder.
· Put the potatos, soya meat, sliced onions, green chillies, tomatoes, ginger and garlic pastes and ground spices into a large mixing bowl. Mix well till all the meat is coated. Keep aside to marinate for an hour.
· After an hour, put the above mixture into a large deep vessel and set up to cook on a medium flame. Do not add any water as the meat will give off its own juices. In a separate small pan, heat the cooking oil on a medium flame till hot and add the chopped onions to it. Fry till transparent.
· Add the curry leaves and mustard seeds and cook till they stop spluttering. Now add the coconut slivers. Cook till they begin to turn a pale golden color.
· Add this tempering mixture to the pan and mix well. Turn on the fire (medium flame) under the vessel containing , stirring often, till it browns. The whole dish begins to turn a deep, dark brown in color. This dish traditionally has no gravy at all and is dry so if water is present, make sure to dry it off.
· Serve hot with Idlis, Dosas or Appams.

Hi Lini...

Kshamichutto...

Njan pure veg aane, beef/ mutton njan cook cheyyilla...bakki ella non veg dishes um undakkum...

Anyhow its really wonderful...

I was bit confused when u said," marinate it for an hour"... then i thought it may be the methode...

Some more Alterations i cld suggest

1) plz use Small onions/shallots instead of large one(sabola) for frying..

2) can add mushrooms for soya meat..

3) green chilli paste for marinating

Thats all....


Once again thanks dear...


Luv..
