Welcome to my blog.I am starting with a very simple recipe which anyone can make with minimal ingredients. Pulissery is one of my all time favourite. My mom make it with naadan vellarika and it tastes wonderful. I started using tomatoes to make puliserry recently and the simple reason is the easy availability of this beautiful vegetable.
Ingredients:
Tomatoes- 3 or 4 (medium sized as shown in the pic)Yogurt- 1 glass
For Grinding:
Scrapped coconut- 1 cup full
Green chillies- 1 medium sized
Jeera (Cumin seeds)- half teaspoon
Garlic- 1clove
Chilli powder- 1 teaspoon
Turmeric powder- 1 teaspoon
Shallots- 1 (or 1/4 onion)
For tempering:
Cocunut oil (preferred)- 2 tablespoon
Mustard seeds- 1 teaspoon
Thinly sliced shallots- 1 spoonful
Dry chillies- 3 or 4
Curry leaves as needed
Preparation:
Cut the tomatoes to 4 to 8 pieces and add them to a heavy bottomed pan with some water just to cover the tomatoes. Cook this over medium heat until the tomatoes are half mashed.
Meanwhile put all ingredients listed under "grinding" in the small jar of the mixer grinder with some water and grind it into a fine paste(You can use a food processor instead of mixer). Add the ground
paste to the cooked tomatoes and allow them to boil in a low flame. Switch off the flame and keep it aside until it cool down. Add yogurt to this mixture and stir well (I used Tesco brought low fat yogurt). Add salt according to taste.
In a small non-stick pan add 2 tablespoon of oil as your choice. splutter mustard seeds and then add sliced shallots, dry chillies and curry leaves. Don't let them burn. Add this mixture to the prepared curry. This will go very well with a bowl of rice.
I hope you guys will enjoy my first post.
