No grinding! No tempering! What an easy way to make a kuzhambu (curry with gravy/ozhichu koottan)!
One day while chatting over phone I asked my friend Beena what she had made for lunch. She said she felt too lazy to do any heavy cooking and made some rice and muthira mulakushyam. I was familiar with kaaya mulakushyam, kumbalanga mulakushyam etc. but this was something new. Naturally I asked for the recipe. Here it is, the super simple recipe of muthira mulakushyam (moloshyam) which goes well with rice, pappadam and pickle.
INGREDIENTS
1. Muthira (horse gram) - 1 cup
2. Green chilli split - 2
3. Turmeric powder - 1/4 tea spoon
4. salt
5. Curry leaves - 2 sprigs
6. Coconut oil - 1 table spoon
METHOD
1. Pressure cook muthira with turmeric powder and 2 cups of water for 10 minutes.(after the first whistle reduce heat to low)
2. Open the cooker, add green chillis, salt and 1 1/2 cup water and cook for 5 minutes.
3, Switch off stove and add coconut oil and curry leaves
I haven't heard about this. Will try soon :)
ReplyDeleteI got the recipe from a friend from Kaipamangalam (Trichur dist.)May be this is some Trichur special moloshyam.
ReplyDeleteTried muthira mulakushyam yesterday ... Was tasty ... But it looked a bit different from the pic here... muthra athra mashed aayilla .. so was kind of watery
