Today I made mor kolambu with capsicum and cucumber. It tasted awesome and my little daughter said "mummy its yummy!!!!!".
Ingredients:
To grind in to paste:
Coconut-½ cup
Coriander leaves-½ cup
Green chillies-4
Turmeric-½tspn
Ginger-½ inch piece
Jeera-½tspn
For seasoning:
Oil-2 tspns
Bengal gram-1tspn
Black gram-1tspn
Curry leaves-6 to 7
Other Ingredients:
Curd-1 cup (beat the curd with little water)
Capsicum (chopped in to small pieces)- 2 (you can use more if u want to make it for more people)
Cucumber(peeled and chopped in to small pieces)-2 small ones (you can use one big one also)
Preparation:
1. Take oil in a pan and add the seasonings, curry leaves, and then add capsicum. Fry for few minutes.
2. Add chopped cucumber and fry for 1 minute. Add ½ cup of water to cook the veggies. Add little salt for the veggies.
3. Take care not to add too much water as the water content in cucumber separates out.
4. Allow this to cool down once the veggies are cooked.
5. Meanwhile add the ground mixture to the curd and mix well.
6. Now add the veggies to the curd and mix well. Add more salt if required.
This kolambu is prepared very often in iyengar homes. This is very different from the usual rasam, sambhar routine. There's also another method using bengal gram dhal. I will surely post the recipe for that one too. Meanwhile try this and do let me know how it turned out.
