Kothavarangai-Poriyal-1

#KothavarangaiPoriyal  #KothavarangaiStirFry : I have already posted Kothavarangai poriyal where the chopped #Kothavarangai is cooked in a pressure cooker and then stir fried. It saves the time taken by the vegetable to cook, the color remains intact and we don't have to keep a close watch on the vegetable always. But the #poriyal is mildly spicy and some people consider it as a boiled vegetable.

So here I am going to present another way of making this poriyal by which a more spicier poriyal can be prepared. Now to the recipe.

Ingredients :
1 cup	Kothavarangai chopped
3 Tsp	Coconut scrapings
3/4 Tsp	Sambar powder
a pinch	Turmeric powder
1/2 Tsp	Salt
To Temper :
1/2 Tsp	Mustard seeds
1 Tsp	Black gram split [ Urad dal ]
1 or 2	Red chilly
1/2 Tsp	Oil

Method :

• Keep a kadai on a stove over a medium flame.
• Add oil and wait until it becomes hot.
• Crackle mustard seeds and then add red chilly pieces & black gram.
• Add chopped kothavarangai after the dal becomes golden brown.
• Saute for half a minute.
• Now add turmeric powder, sambar powder and salt.
• Saute for a half a minute.
• Sprinkle little water and close with a lid.
• Reduce the flame to SIM and cook until kothavarangai becomes soft.
• Finally add coconut scraping and adjust salt.
• Stir well for a few seconds on high flame or until it becomes dry.
• Transfer into a serving bowl.
• An excellent side dish for sambar rice [ hot white rice mixed with sambar ] 
• and rasam rice [ hot white rice mixed with rasam ].
