Dish: Thengai Paal Kootu
Today's dish from Sujatha's blog is a super simple, yet very delicious mixed veg curry cooked in coconut milk. Veggies are cooked in coconut milk and flavored with sambar powder -- it's that simple, but the flavor both these ingredients infuse into the veggies is just amazing.
Potato - 2 medium, peeled and cut into long slices
Carrot - 1 medium, peeled and cut into long slices
Green Peas - ½cup
Onion - 1 small, thinly sliced
Ginger - 1" piece, finely grated
Sambar powder - 2tsp
Turmeric - 1tsp
Coconut Milk - 1½cups
Coconut Cream - ¼cup
Salt - to taste
Method:
- Microwave the veggies until just tender.
- Heat 2tsp oil in a saute pan; add the onions and grated ginger, cook till onions are just translucent. Don't let the onions change color.
- Next add the other veggies along with coconut milk, sambar powder, turmeric and salt. Simmer till the veggies are cooked through.
- Finally add the coconut cream and cook for 2~3 minutes.
